Both Al-Nassr and Al-Itthad play very well. In the first half, Al-Itthad played quite well but in the second half, Al-Nassr turned out to be good, made some good passes, and won the game with a pretty good score of 5-2. LOL, Ronaldo scored both of his penalty shots and made himself one of the top scorers in 2023, with 53 goals behind Killyan Mbappe. Now currently Cristiano Ronaldo's has become the highest goal scorer of 2023. He scored 53 goals out of 58 appearances. This is quite good at the age of 38.

Let's talk about the match. Both teams played very well, but at the end of the match, Al Nassr made some beautiful football and won the match 5-2 against Al-Itthad. 
Guys, what do you think? Does Al-Nassr deserve to win the game or not? Give us your thoughts. Thanks, good night! 

It was a match in which both teams competed well and goals were scored. Frankly, it was enjoyable. It's nice to watch Benzama on one side and Ronaldo on the other. He made some nice accurate shots in the penalty kicks today, he is still trying to do his best, so it would be strange not to be respected. Mane put on a show in the match, scoring two amazing goals in a row in the second half.

I don't know if it is normal how many penalties the players score relative to the total number of goals they score. Ronaldo has 19 goals and 6 via penalty. Mitrovic has 16 goals and 6 via penalty. N'Koudou has 14 goals and 4 via penalty. That is close to 1/3 being scored via penalty by the top scorers. It sounds like a lot, but I have never looked into it in detail.

Benzema is nothing compared to Ronaldo although he does at least score a higher portion of his goals from within the game, not from the penalty spot.

The gap between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal is still huge though.

I think Al Ittihad didn't play well, but Al Nassr played as expected. I'm curious about the defenders used for the starting lineup of Al Ittihad. Why they have no some players that more deserve to put in the starting lineup? I don't see Luiz Felipe and Suwailem Al-Manhali. I think these players are better to put as center-back in the match. Fabinho and Kadesh aren't center-defenders, that why they couldn't play optimally in the match. Well, it is very unfortunately that there are too many injured defenders of Al Ittihad, it is really difficult for them to play in their best form. There are 7 players who can't play in the match against Al Nassr.

Yep, Ronaldo scored 2 goals from penalty spot. But I think he deserved to be the penalty kicker. His record on the penalty kick is amazing, it is not always easy to score from penalty spot. By the way, Mane and Talisca also contributed with some goals. It is great to see all the attackers of Al Nassr scored goals and contribute a lot in the match.

Sure, Al Nassr deserves to win. They played better and have a better lineup in the match.

[Slow death]

Well, normally I don't watch Saudi league games, but today I decided to watch Al-Itthad's game against Al Nassr, as I didn't have much to do, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem to watch Al Nassr's game. nassr, I confess that to a certain extent I thought the game was very good, Al-Itthad were the first to score a goal, but it didn't take many minutes for them to concede a goal and the game was tied, then they conceded the second goal but they managed to score 2 goals too and with that the game was tied, it even seemed like the game was going in a direction where it would end in a draw, but when the penalty came and Ronaldo scored a goal, I immediately thought that al nassr would win this game and I wasn't wrong

my prediction was confirmed when al nassr managed to score the 4th goal, it became obvious who would win the game, this is because Al-Itthad was playing with 10 players, it would be very difficult for them to be able to play calmly with 10 players while that Al Nassr had 11 players, so this victory for Al Nassr had already been declared long before the game ended, unfortunately the blame for this defeat lies with Al-Itthad's own players who did not know how to have the coolness and patience to play a clean game without fouls seriously, benzemno chose a terrible team to retire from, it doesn't even seem like he still plays, because his team is so terrible and the news channels only want to know about ronaldo, benzema and other players have become invisible in this league

[Queentoshi]

Guys, what do you think? Does Al-Nassr deserve to win the game or not? Give us your thoughts.

It is not about who deserves to win, it is who works hard to win it. Al Nassr Played very well to deserve to win in this game but they're still very far behind from the league toppers currently (Al Hilal) with a lot of points (7pts). The performance of Ronaldo and Sadio Mane have been continuous and repeating for us to know that they can keep winning games to the end of the season with the pairing of theses two very good players who scored two goals each today. Al Hilal on the other hand have a very good team, it is possible they keep winning still.

[TelolettOm]

Well, normally I don't watch Saudi league games, but today I decided to watch Al-Itthad's game against Al Nassr, as I didn't have much to do, so I thought it wouldn't be a problem to watch Al Nassr's game.

So, is it not normal if you watch SPL matches?  
I often watched SPL matches, especially for the big matches. I think it is quite interesting to watch SPL matches, SPL is competitive enough for this season. Sure, it is okay to watch Al Nassr match. It is a big match, they are against Al Ittihad.

nassr, I confess that to a certain extent I thought the game was very good, Al-Itthad were the first to score a goal, but it didn't take many minutes for them to concede a goal and the game was tied, then they conceded the second goal but they managed to score 2 goals too and with that the game was tied, it even seemed like the game was going in a direction where it would end in a draw, but when the penalty came and Ronaldo scored a goal, I immediately thought that al nassr would win this game and I wasn't wrong

The match was quite interesting in the first half, but it became a boring match in second half. In the first half, both teams still didn't play very aggressively but the match looked quite balanced for both teams. Meanwhile in the second half, both teams tried to play aggressively. Sadly, Al Ittihad got a red card, then Al Nassr really dominated the match. So, they finally could score 3 more goals in second half. You're right, Al Nassr win the match.

I think Al-Nassr deserved to win in this match since they dominated the game, made more attempts and were successful to score in most of their attacks. At the opposite, Al-Ittihad weren't convincing and deserve a lot of efforts to make the team win again and return to its previous position among the top 3 in the latest seasons.
Even though Al-Nassr got three points but Al-Hilal remains the best Saudi team this season. What Al-Nassr has is the top scorer title until now with Cristiano Ronaldo as the top scorers with 19 goals then come Taljsca, in the fourth position, with 11 goals = 8 goals less than CR7

[mammusu]

Yeah that's it. Al-Itthad equalized the game at 2-2. A. Hamdallah scored twice against Al-Nassr, and this time, I mean, the second goal is just insane because he hit the powerful headers towards the net and got the equalizer. Benzenma is quite in the second half, but he makes such a fantastic stream towards what the team needs. He provided an assist in the first half and also made some good chances for his team to get a victory. And maybe possibly Kareem Benzenma should do something for his team and take the game in the winning way, but on the other hand, there is the man. Who should not be underestimated? He has the special quality of winning the game despite Ronaldo's many comebacks, and if Al-Nassr focuses a little bit on Ronaldo, then the game can change. I wish Al-Ithid wins. I will be very happy if Al-Ithhad win the match. but let's see what happens next until 90 minutes.

Benzema vs Ronaldo where Ronaldo was the best in this match because Ronaldo was able to score 2 goals from the penalty point in today match. Al Ittihad was embarrassed by Al Nassr in this match because they played in front of their supporters but Al Ittihad were not able to show their best game so their goal was conceded 5 goals in today's match. Al ittihad if you look at the last 3 matches where they surprisingly lost in a row which means they haven't managed to fix their bad trend.

Al Nassr and Al Hilal are equally strong in the standings this season but Al Hilal is very comfortable at the top of the standings because they are far ahead of Al Nassr. It can be said that Al Hilal is capable of gaining greater control in winning the Saudi Arabian League trophy this season. The difference between these two teams is 7 points, so Al Nassr must be consistent in every match if they want to lead the standing in the second half of the season.

I agree that Al Nassr had a better performance and that's the main reason for them to win the game but regarding the game between Al Nassr and Al Itthad, I think the mistake they had in Al Itthad during this game was definitely effective otherwise Al Nassr couldn't win the match easily like they won today.
Fabinho was the worst player in this game and maybe it was the worst performance he had during this season so far because of the penalty kick and the red card.

[iBaba]

It was a match in which both teams competed well and goals were scored. Frankly, it was enjoyable. It's nice to watch Benzama on one side and Ronaldo on the other. He made some nice accurate shots in the penalty kicks today, he is still trying to do his best, so it would be strange not to be respected. Mane put on a show in the match, scoring two amazing goals in a row in the second half.

I also enjoyed every moment of the game. It was like an homecoming to see both Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema Play in the same pitch but this time around on different side of the challenge and to also witness the tough challenge between the two team. It was going to be a challenge between the duo players to prove to each other who's more experienced from the both divides and I think Cristiano Ronaldo have once again like usual shown his mastery in the art of playing football as a game as a talent and as a skill.

It was interesting to see Ronaldo score both goals from the penalty spot before and after the halftime. It is also interesting to mention that Ronaldo netted the opening goal for the Al Nassr and further went on to score the first goal in the second half of the game both of which were penalty shots while Mane was able to score two last goals for the club which includes the closing goal. Talisca as always been promising and shines in virtually every victory of the club.

On the flip side, I was expecting some stunning outings from the Ronaldo's former Real Madrid team mate, Karim Benzema who have also made great history for the former club even after the transfer of Ronaldo. I thought he was going to pull some stunts that will lead to more fierce goals but unfortunately that did not materialize as Al-Nassr scored 5 against the 2 goals scored by Hamdallah of the Al-Itthad. Great competition.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

Al Nasr, who played away, won the match, which featured a goal duel between Al Ittihat and Al Nasr, 2-5. Ronaldo scored two penalty goals in this match. While the match continued in a 2-2 draw, Al Ittihat's Fabinho received a red card in the 66th minute, which changed the course of the match. In the 68th minute, Ronaldo put his team ahead 2-3 with a penalty goal. Sadio Mane, who came on stage after these goals, scored 2 points and Al Nasr finished the match with a 2-5 victory. With this victory, Al Nasr increased its points to 43 and reduced the point difference with Al Hilal to 7. Al Hilal has a big advantage for the championship. So far, no team has been able to defeat Team Al Hilal.

We previously predicted that Al-Nassr would win the match and Ronaldo scored 2 goals, currently Ronaldo has scored 19 gold in the Saudi pro League while Aleksandar Mitrović scored 16 goals. Conceding early made Al-Nassr play more aggressively and could turn things around in the first half, AL-Nassr is again approaching Al-Hilal with 7 points behind and the competition in the Saudi Pro League is even more interesting to wait for. Al-Nassr next opponent is Al-Taawon we know Al-Taawon is in 4th place currently and they will play at home I know Al-Nassr will do the same as they beat Al-Ittihad but this is not any easier due to the fact that Al-Taawon defense is the best in the Saudi Pro League after Al-Hilal. I predict Al-Nassr will only win with a low score 0-1 or 1-2 but if Al-Nassr concedes first then the scenario could be the same as against Al-Ittihad, I hope Ronaldo will take part in some goals there this guy has been on fire in every game since Aleksandar Mitrović overtook him last week.

Guys, what do you think? Does Al-Nassr deserve to win the game or not? Give us your thoughts.

It is not about who deserves to win, it is who works hard to win it. Al Nassr Played very well to deserve to win in this game but they're still very far behind from the league toppers currently (Al Hilal) with a lot of points (7pts). The performance of Ronaldo and Sadio Mane have been continuous and repeating for us to know that they can keep winning games to the end of the season with the pairing of theses two very good players who scored two goals each today. Al Hilal on the other hand have a very good team, it is possible they keep winning still.

I think Al-Nassr deserved to win in this match since they dominated the game, made more attempts and were successful to score in most of their attacks. At the opposite, Al-Ittihad weren't convincing and deserve a lot of efforts to make the team win again and return to its previous position among the top 3 in the latest seasons.
Even though Al-Nassr got three points but Al-Hilal remains the best Saudi team this season. What Al-Nassr has is the top scorer title until now with Cristiano Ronaldo as the top scorers with 19 goals then come Taljsca, in the fourth position, with 11 goals = 8 goals less than CR7

Al nassr has played the game very swell and this must become the main concern too. I meant that if al nassr is being even more structured on its attack compared to the al ittihad. Al ittihad has been declining a lot since the club was sacking the coach due to the internal problem occured between player and coach. It seems like that the downtrend of ittihad will still continue caused by al ittihad is showing another terrible performance to watch. This is the bad thing that has been continously happening with al ittihad. Ittihad is out from the title race and it has no chance anymore.
Ronaldo was adding another goal but he is not yet safe caused by the gap toward mitrovic is still very small at this moment. Im expecting mitrovic to take over ronaldo's position soon. Ronaldo is not yet safe sitting at the first place of top scorer in SPL.
Im happy to see my prediction is going very well. It's caused by ronaldo will be trying so hard to win the game and add goal to make sure his position will not be replaced by mitrovic.
Mitrovic the only biggest threat for ronaldo as top scorer.

[tranthidung]

I agree that Al Nassr had a better performance and that's the main reason for them to win the game but regarding the game between Al Nassr and Al Itthad, I think the mistake they had in Al Itthad during this game was definitely effective otherwise Al Nassr couldn't win the match easily like they won today.
Fabinho was the worst player in this game and maybe it was the worst performance he had during this season so far because of the penalty kick and the red card.

That situation looks like an unintentional foul from Fabinho and a red card for him is too much and this is a turning point of the match. After that Al Nassr took advantage of one more player than Al Ittihad and scored some goals to have a big winning.

I think Al-Nassr deserved to win in this match since they dominated the game, made more attempts and were successful to score in most of their attacks. At the opposite, Al-Ittihad weren't convincing and deserve a lot of efforts to make the team win again and return to its previous position among the top 3 in the latest seasons.

Al Ittihad had two goals from Hamdallah who raced with Talisca for a best scorer in Saudi Professional League last two seasons. Now with appearances for Ronaldo, Benzema and the surprising excellent form of Mitrovic, Hamdallah no longer is able to compete for a best scorer award in Saudi Professional League but generally he got a very good match and even got a chance to have a hattrick.

Even though Al-Nassr got three points but Al-Hilal remains the best Saudi team this season. What Al-Nassr has is the top scorer title until now with Cristiano Ronaldo as the top scorers with 19 goals then come Taljsca, in the fourth position, with 11 goals = 8 goals less than CR7

Having a big winning against a big competitor in the league, a current champion of the league, is a very emotional winning for Al Nassr. It can not help them to reduce 7-point difference against Al Hilal but at least it helps them to maintain the gap with the biggest competitor.

But this league regrettably is still far from being exciting due to all the bad games Al-Nassr played. They now finally seem to be back to their best form although their defensive problems still remain. The issue is that they won't win every game 5-2. If they do, ok even better for the fans as they get to see a lot of goals, but for the sake of their results and effectiveness it would be more beneficial to solve some of those problems in their defense. I guess Ronaldo doesn't care for as long as he scores plenty, but he also has his games where it doesn't work as intended.

Al Hilal is the best team this year. I don't think Al Nassr can get close to them. It doesn't look like the point gap will close right now. I thought this match would be problematic for Al Nassr, but after Fabinho received a red card, the match went into a more comfortable phase. If you have great forwards like Mane, Ronaldo, Talisca, your job becomes easier.

So far, no team has been able to defeat Team Al Hilal.

Al Nassr three mainstay players were able to give a very good performance, even my prediction was wrong because I thought Ittihad would win like before but it turned out that Al Nassr was able to take revenge after being defeated in the past.
maybe if Ronaldo not get a penalty chance, it looks like he won't be able to score or even get an assist and also maybe if the Ittihad player doesn't commit a foul he gets a red card, score will definitely only be 2-3 and that very dangerous because Ittihad could have held a draw but he's very lucky. Al Nassr was able to beat Ittihad with big score.

Al Nassr was able to beat Ittihad with big score.

Both teams were equally aggressive in making attacks. But Al-ittihad lost the ball too easily in this match. Al-Nassr actually did the same thing. But Al-Nassr players played faster and more aggressively to win the ball back. I think this is a pretty fun fight. And the performance of the two is not much different. It's just that Al-Nassr is far superior in building attacks. But in defense both are the same. Namely, the defenses of these two teams have the same gaps that actually need to be fixed.

For the time being, Al-Nassr can narrow the difference in points with Al-Hilal. But Al-Nassr still has a difficult match this week. Namely Al-Nassr will visit Al-Taawoun House. And actually Al-Taawoun is sometimes a stronger opponent than Al-ittihad. That's why Al-Nassr could have difficulty again in the next match. But I still hope Al-Nassr wins even if only by a narrow score. Because Al-Nassr must continue to maintain their current point difference with Al-hilal.

Easy victory bagged by the Knights of Najd and they're heading weigh closer to dash out the gap between them and Al Hilal. The fought hard against Al Ittihad and ended up accumulating their desirable three points. 5-2 on the scoresheets with Cristiano Ronaldo netting a brace, Sadio Mané nets a brace and Talisca record just a goal, all these goals contributed to put Al Nassr forward and never stopping to create wonders. Al Ittihad was thinking what exactly when they got a red card? Because main playing Al Nassr, we know how challenging it was but becoming one down man against such a competitive club, ofcourse losing was the only option for Al Nassr opponents.

Al-ittihad's defeat in this match further emphasizes that Al-ittihad this season really has no hope of fighting for the title this season. And the hunt for the title will only be carried out by Al-Hilal and pursued by Al-Nassr. And it is truly amazing to see that Al-Hilal has not been defeated until now. But Al-Nassr is just as impressive as they continue to win matches to this day. If only Al-Nassr had not lost at the start of the season then of course now the point difference with Al-Hilal would not be so big.

Losing 2-5 by Al-Nassr must have been a painful lesson for Al-ittihad. They had to prepare better from now on. And Al-ittihad's target is definitely next season. Because this season for Al-ittihad they just need to continue to stay at their current ranking or move up a little. Because their goals in the SPL seem to have faded. So their motivation must also decrease slightly.

As I expected that Al Nassr would be able to beat Ittihad FC and get full points from this match to reduce the gap from Al Hilal, now their difference is 7 points and this is good opportunity for Al Nassr.

You are right that the three star players of Al Nassr were able to create big surprise by creating 5 goals as an absolute advantage for this victory and of course these three players are the key to success for Al Nassr.
Since the start of the match, Al Nassr managed to control the game, they really dominated every possession of the ball and were able to pressure Ittihad FC until they had difficulty catching up in the second half.

Unfortunately, this match was full of dramatic violations committed by both teams, but it was very profitable for Al Nassr because they were able to get two penalty opportunities which resulted in goals.
Of the total, there were 7 yellow cards, 1 red card and 27 violations, Ittihad FC had to admit that one of their players was absent from the next few matches because of the red card they received.

But Al-Nassr is just as impressive as they continue to win matches to this day. If only Al-Nassr had not lost at the start of the season then of course now the point difference with Al-Hilal would not be so big.

Losing 2-5 by Al-Nassr must have been a painful lesson for Al-ittihad. They had to prepare better from now on. And Al-ittihad's target is definitely next season. Because this season for Al-ittihad they just need to continue to stay at their current ranking or move up a little. Because their goals in the SPL seem to have faded. So their motivation must also decrease slightly.

This defeat was the first defeat for Ittihad after the last 5 meetings between the two, even if you look at h2h, Ittihad dominated the victory over Al Nassr, but today Al Nassr was able to prove that they cannot be underestimated now with the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo, Talisca and Sadio Mane. Now Al Nassr has been a strong club with Al Hilal in SPL, but Al Nassr is not as strong as Al Hilal if they want to compete for the title because the gap between them is too big and maybe this season Al Nassr will finish in 2nd place.

This defeated was a painful defeat because Ittihad lost at home with a landslide score to Al Nassr and Ittihad is far from being in the title race with its inconsistency this season. I think Ittihad will probably end the season in the top 5 if it is for the top 3. I slightly doubt that because Damac, Al Ahli and Al Taawon are much better compared to Al Ittihad performance.
