Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Gallar]

Mane brings the victory for Al Nasrr in the extratime, they sweat a lot to get this victory, more than they want i think. But it was against a good team with a lot of european stars like them.

Only one game left for this 16 round in Kings cup.

Sure, the match that took place last night between Al Nasr and Al Ettifaq was very fierce. Even though Al Nasr had superior possession of the ball over Al Etifaq, it could be said that Al Nasr had big difficulties in last night's match. The reason is, the attacks carried out by Ronaldo and his friends are very difficult to score. Even in the 29th minute, Al Nasr almost conceded. However, fortunately the defender from Al Nasr managed to block the ball and thwart Al ettifaq's chance.

Apart from that, what was even more unfortunate was that Talisca's goal was disallowed at the end of the first half and Talisca was even given a red card for hitting player Al ettifaq in the face. So in the second half Al Nasr lacked one of its best players. However, even until the second half, Al Nasr remained consistent in controlling the game by continuing to pressure Al Ettifaq. Then in extra time, Sadio Mane managed to take advantage of the flat pass given Yahya and resulted in the winning goal for Al Nasr.

And with the victory achieved by Al Nasr last night, Al Nasr managed to qualify for the top 8 of the Saudi Arabian King's Cup.

Apart from Neymar, Al Hilal is a strong enough club but the main reason for bringing Neymar to Al Hilal from PSG at a high price is to strengthen their club. The way Al Hilal is performing now, if Neymar was fully fit to play without being injured, Al Hilal's performance would have been even better. Knowing that Neymar is at risk of injury, the club in Saudi Arabia has comfortably completed the deal with Neymar. There are several reasons to bring Neymar to their club. First of all, if Neymar is brought to their club, the performance of their club will be much better, as well as the popularity of their club will increase and the followers of their club will increase. It will be good news for Al Hilal fans if Neymar recovers and returns to the field.

You would think that any player transfer is primarily done to strengthen the team on the pitch and to increase the chances for winning the titles, but when you realize that transfers don't make sense in terms of the finances, it is about something else and this has been discussed here before. Neymar wasn't bought to strengthen the team above all else, it was to increase global visibility of the club and the Saudi Professional League as a whole. But whatever, so far the medical analysis of Neymar's injury suggests that he will be out for the season.

[Strongkored]

In this tournament, not only Al Nassr win, but also the strong teams in the Saudi Pro League managed to win, it could even be said to have won convincingly, Al Hilal won with a score of 3-0 from Al Hazm, Ittihad won 3-0 from Al Feiha and Al Taawon 2-0 from Al Wahda, bad luck was actually suffered by Al Ahli who lost to the Abha team which could be said to be weaker than them.
With the result of this defeat, Al Ahli must be able to focus more on the league match now and this week they will face Al Riyadh, and if we judge their opponents later, Al Ahli should be able to win convincingly and they should be able to do it, and Firmino, who is not very productive at his current club, is quite influencing the results obtained by Al Ahli, maybe Al Ahli will look for an alternative striker who can make their team more productive.

Yes. In all probability Al Hilal will be forced to play without Neymar for the remainder of the season and it is going to be a big blow for them. In terms of global visibility, absence of Neymar is going to hit them very hard. That said, I am not sure how much it is going to impact them in the ongoing season of Saudi Professional League. Even without Neymar, they have world class players such as Rúben Neves, Sergej Milinković-Savić and Malcom. And at this point, they are at the top of the points table, with 29 points from 11 matches. Al Nassr at second place only has 25 points.

But I was not surprised by Abha's victory against Al-Ahli. Because even though Abha is a weak club. But sometimes this club is always able to make things difficult for clubs that are much stronger than them. An example is Al-Nassr who were also held to a draw in the SPL a few weeks ago. Even though at that time Al-Nassr was really in the best condition they had. But Abha was actually able to make a team as strong as Al-Nassr have to be willing to share points with them. So I would not be surprised if Al-Ahli lost in yesterday's match at the King Cup of Champions. But still, I personally feel disappointed with Al-Ahli in this match. Because they actually have quite a lot of opportunities in this match. Because in the second half Abha only played with 10 players. Even at the end of the match, Abha played with 9 people.

It could be said that the match against Al-Ettifaq was quite balanced and it was only fitting that these two teams failed to score goals in normal time. But indeed the loss for Al;-Ettifaq came in the 89th minute after one of his players received a red card and that reduced the strength of his squad. Al-Nassr and Al-Ettifaq had to continue the match in extra time and it took a little more patience before Mane finally scored the only winning goal for Al-Nassr in the 107th minute. This was an important victory for Al-Nassr in the Kings Cup competition and for Jordan Henderson and his friends must be willing to accept this defeat.

The thing that made me feel good to see how al nassr was able defending its club after talisca was out from the club due to the red card. Al nassr was trying so hard not to lose against its opponent and glad to see that how mane has become a solution that was also able helping the club to go to the next round. It's rally pumping my heart to see what's happening with al nassr against ettifaq. Ettifaq was quite strong but it needs to change its coach once again. Gerrard was not suitable in coaching a club like that.
Good bye al ettifaq. Good luck next season with a replacement for gerrard. Gerrard was making the club become inconsistent at this moment. There's no progress being made by him at this moment. I thought that if al nassr would be lose in that game.
I can't even imagine how happy al nassr fans that were watching the match directly after their favorite teams were winning the game dramatically against ettifaq.

Al-Nassr is really in a difficult position. Because they had to play with only 10 players in the second half after Talisca had to leave the field because he received a red card. But I am really satisfied because in the end Al-Nassr was able to win thanks to a goal by Sadio Mane. This may have happened because Al-Ettifaq also lost their midfielder, A. Hazazi, in the 89th minute because he received a red card. After that Al-Nassr really became lucky. But Al-Nassr survived without conceding a goal by playing with only 10 players in 44 minutes in the second half which we really have to appreciate. Because to be honest, I'm a little pessimistic about the second half. Because after all, Al-Ettifaq is also a strong team which also has several very superior European players.

Mane has really been savior for Al Nassr and this match is very important because by getting this win it will be easier for Al Nassr to qualify for the next round.
Ronaldo played quite well in the first half and after Talisca came out at the end of the first half Ronaldo was not as aggressive in the second half and couldn't have more places to attack, Talisca is player who is very important for Al Nassr front line so from the red card what he gets could be very detrimental to the team.

In the future Al Nassr will have several matches without Talisca, but in some of these matches they will only face teams that are quite weak so there is still a possibility that Al Nssr will be able to achieve any victory without Talisca.

Correct. At least in the upcoming matches Al-Nassr will have opponents who are not as strong as Al-Ettifaq. As in the next two days, Al-Nassr will face Al-Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League week 12. But there is still something you need to watch out for from Al-Khaleej because it seems like this club cannot be underestimated. Due to the fact that Al-Khaleej was also able to hold Al-Taawoun and Al-ettifaq to a draw. And it is possible that Al-Khaleej will also target a draw when facing Al-Nassr. But I hope Al-Nassr can get full points. Because currently Al-Nassr is ranked 2nd. And I hope Al-Nassr can maintain it well. Because if Al-Nassr only gets 1 point in the next match then this will make Al-nassr drop in ranking again. Namely ranking 3rd or even 4th. And apart from that, the difference in points with Al-Hilal will also become increasingly different. But I remember that Luis Castro sometimes didn't play Talisca from the start. So it could be said that Al-Nassr is ready to have another strategy even though they have to play without Talisca.

[Bobrox]

Yes. In all probability Al Hilal will be forced to play without Neymar for the remainder of the season and it is going to be a big blow for them.

Al Nassr at second place only has 25 points.

Currently, Neymar will absent until this season ended and Al Hilal have show their best perform and defending top position without Neymar. I don't think problem for Al Hilal leaves by Neymar because on few early matches they don't have Neymar in squad and I think they will find right replacement for Neymar position. Al Hilal have top standings behind four points remaining with Al Nassr and last match on King Cup of Champion success defeated Al Hazm 3-0 with goals contribution from Ruben Neves and Alexander Mitrovic.

Al Hilal keep in the top perform without Neymar and I believe Malcom, Ruben Neves and Mitrovic will give more effort to help Al Hilal keep on the top position. Al Hilal keep in the unbeaten record in domestic league with playing 11 matches and I think have Neymar or not they can defend good result in domestic league and AFC Champion League.

Sadio Mane's goal in extra time send Al-Nassr into the quarter-finals of the King Cup of Champions. It's unfortunate that despite his goal being crucial in helping Al-Nassr qualify for the next level, the media hasn't given him much praise. I really enjoyed Mane's performance, as well as the strong defense from Al-Nassr. It's clear there's good teamwork going on. The combination and influence of Sadio, Ronaldo, and Talisca in Al-Nassr is significant. Although Talisca will be absent in the upcoming games due to his red card, the combination of Sadio and Ronaldo might help them overcome the challenges.

With the presence of good players, there's no limitations to what the team can achieve. Their previous encounter was difficult; Talisca was conveyed a red card during the game, which I believe was an unfair decision made by the referee, but everything was restored when Al Nassr lead 1 nil in part due to a magnificent goal from Sadio Mané. Al Nassr's squad is potentially fatal, and only a competitive team will be able to take them down. Al Nassr has their eyes focused on another trophy this season, having secured a place in the Quarterfinals, and I'm hoping for the Knights of Najd to reach the main grand finale.

[rendravolt]

The results of other matches from the Kings Cup competition led Al-Ittihad to a landslide victory with a score of 0-3 over Al-Feiha and in this match we finally saw Karim Benzema scoring another goal. It looks like this is not a difficult match for Al-Ittihad and the victory they got was very worthy with their dominance throughout the match.

On the other hand, Al-Ahli actually lost with a narrow score of 1-2 to their opponent Abha. In fact, if we look at the SPL standings, Abha is a weak team at the bottom of the standings, but it is quite surprising that they were able to beat Al-Ahli's squad full of stars. The referee even gave 2 red cards to the Al-Ahli players which made their situation even more detrimental. Al-Ahli's only goal was scored by Riyadh Mahrez from the penalty spot. An unexpected defeat for Al-Ahli and they must be quite upset with this result.

Usually Brozovic brings some energy and balance for Al Nassr midfield and he helps attacking players like Mane, Ronaldo and Talisca can play better together. It seems he was tired in the match and did not have significant contribution.

The match looks is not a good one from Al Nassr and they only were able to win with a goal from Mane even they dominated the match. Talisca made a stupid foul and was sent off. Ronaldo did not have a good match too but because Al Nassr have many star players, they can win when one of their star players does a magnificent moment like Mane in this match.

They will go next in the cup but I believe the main focus is on Saudi Professional League.

The match was fierce and both almost held a draw without scoring a goal and both clubs received red cards, but in reality Al Nassr managed to win the match in extra time and Sadio Mane became a hero for Al Nassr in that match.
Al Nassr's defense was quite strong even though they played with 10 players in the second half, but they managed to keep their goal from being conceded by the opposing team and as a result Ettifaq did not manage to score a goal and had to accept defeat in the match.

It is possible that Al Nassr can still get through each match with satisfactory results in the next match, but the question is, will Talisca be suspended in the next match? because after this Al Nassr has to compete against Al Khaleej on the one hand Talisca is one of the players who makes the best contribution after Ronaldo when Ronaldo or Mane cannot score Talisca can be Al Nassr helper to secure victory with a score that Talisca managed to score and maybe this will slightly affect Al Nassr performance in the next match.

[DanWalker]

After a VAR review, the goal for Al-Nassr was cancelled. The second half has started and it looks like it will be a tough game for Al-Nassr because they lost one key important player, although there are still have Ronaldo and Mane, but losing Talisca might have an impact on the sharpness of Al Nassr attack. But I hope Ronaldo or Mane can make a surprise in this match.
Meanwhile, in another match Ittihad still leads with a score of 1 against Al Feiha.

The referee's decision in the match clearly made things difficult for Al-Nassr. But fortunately Al-Nassr was still able to survive and still win the match. Mane was the hero in this match. The match was a bit heated because both teams in the end each received 1 red card.

For the Al-ittihad match, they managed to win with a good score, namely 0-3 over Al-ittihad's victory and Al-Hilal also managed to win against Al-Hazm. But Al-Nassr is the only one running full of drama. Because losing Talisca in the first half was really a big loss for Al-Nassr because Talisca is a player who always makes a big contribution in completing the attacks built by Al-Nassr. But the important thing is that Al-Nassr can win and will qualify for the next stage.

First of all, I thought Al Nassr should have scored more goals in the first half. But secondly, I also give them congratulations for actually being able to win this match. They had to play with only 10 players throughout the whole match after the first half ended. And obviously, it was actually a good performance from them in the end to be able to win this match. Of course, the opponent was also playing with 10 players but that was way later in the match. The goalkeeper of Al Nassr performed really well to keep a clean sheet. I actually thought turn on Ronaldo had a lot of chances and probably should have at least scored once.

Sadio Mane was a nightmare for Al Ettifaq with the only goal he scored in the extra period, in the 107th minute. It was a tough match with neither side wanting to lose the match. Talisca had to shower early after he was shown a red card at the end of the first half. But Al Ettifaq couldn't capitalize on their numerical advantage until they were reduced to 10 men after Ali Hazazi was shown a red card at the end of the second half. In the extra period both clubs were down to 10 men and that was a big advantage for Al Nassr.
Congratulations to Al Nassr for winning this tight match.

[Volgastallion]

Yeah i think that as well, Talisca is a key player on this al Nasrr also more important in terms of play than Cristiano Ronaldo, but well they have to manage being without him and make the team play well without him, and for me Mane is the key to make that happen.
