Saudi Professional League 2023/2024

[Pjcr7]

That late comeback says a lot of positive things about Al Nassr. even when they were struggling to break Al Ittihad down, they kept pushing and got their reward in the last minutes. Those kinds of wins matter in a title race. with Al Hilal dropping points in recent games, the gap is no longer scary.

I had even lost hope of Al Nassr winning at home today, first half they were still playing 0:0 and up untill the 80th minutes it still remained like and I was like, they will play draw just few seconds later I got a notification of a penalty in favour of Al Nassr and Mane converted from the penalty spot. When I thought it will end like that, they added yet another goal to firmly secure the lead.

I had even lost hope of Al Nassr winning at home today, first half they were still playing 0:0 and up untill the 80th minutes it still remained...

Al-Nassr was facing Al-Ittihad which is not in its best shape this season.
it is true it took time for them to score a goal and add the second one but they remained better than Al-Ittihad which continues to miss points.
Meanwhile, I expected Al-Ittihad to score even if they were favourite to lose this match.
Since Al-Hilal made it easily,. Al-Nassr remained in the second half of table. I expect them to return to the first place if they keep good results.

Al Nassr won by 2 goals. That is a decent margin of victory. And even more important is the fact that they won without Ronaldo (who may never again play for Al Nassr). It is good to see Al Nassr winning without their biggest star, but I am not sure Ronaldo deserves this sort of treatment. Why is the League management not taking into account his concerns? Ronaldo was apparently infuriated by Benzema's transfer from Al Ittihad to Al Hilal. His arrival strengthens Al Hilal, who happens to be the main opponents to Al Nassr. And at the same time the PIF has rejected Ronaldo's requests for additional player infusion to Al Nassr.

The last minute showed the dramatic moments that were done by both teams to score goals and Al Nassr got a reward from the referee to create a penalty that was successfully executed by Mane, precisely the victory in the last minute was what most people expected so that the opposing club would have difficulty scoring a goal in return with a limited time and Al Ittihad had to suffer a quite surprising defeat near the end.

Al Nassr continues to win in a winning streak while Al Hilal has drawn several times lately and the point difference between Al Nassr and Al Hilal is 1 point so Al Nassr still has a chance to overtake Al Hilal if once again Al Hilal makes a mistake.

[MainIbem]

Although Al Nassr seemed to be dominating the match, they still haven't created any effective goal-scoring opportunities. They had several corner kicks in the final minutes of the first half, but goalkeeper Rajkovic cleared all of them. En Nesiry started for Al Ittihad but was very ineffective. Al Ittihad seems content with a draw. Ronaldo was absent from the game due to his reaction to the match. There are about 20 minutes left, but I don't think Al Nassr will score.

Late minute goal from Sadio Mane in the 84th minute and Angelo's 90+6 minutes double saved the night for Al Nassr otherwise they would have ended in a draw after a very tough match against Ittihad Jeddah. Since Mane returned back from the AFCON where his country Senegal won the tournament, he has been upfront for his club side Al Nassr because even in the last match 1:0 win against Al Riyadh, he scored the only goal that helped them maintain a close gap with Al Hilal. With Sadio Mane available for Al Nassr, i don't think that Ronaldo's absence in matches will affect the team's performance.

Al Nassr have done it again They performed much better than I expected, they were on the better side throughout the game and really pressured Al Ittihad. Al Nassr had a better performance in the first half but they couldn't score due to the toughness of the match. The game turned in their favour at the end, with Sadio Mane scoring a penalty kick and Angelo Gabriel scoring the last goal which helped Al Nassr grab the three points. Now they've closed the points gap Al Hilal have 50 points, while Al Nassr have 49 points the challenge still continues. I agree with your statement that Ronaldo's absence won't affect Al Nassr performance, but what if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves and these guys win the Saudi Professional League title without him Isn't that going to be an embarrassment for him?

I don't really understand the grievance of Ronaldo lately because the favoritism that Al Hilal has been enjoying from the PIF didn't start today and Ronaldo is very much aware of that so why should it be now that his team is supposed to remain focussed and chase after Al Hilal but he is trying to cause distractions. Al Nassr is not in a bad shape even though they fell off at time but they still manage to come back alive and from 7 points gap they were against Al Hilal initially but it has dropped to just a point difference so they ought to be happy. If Ronaldo leaves Al Nassr and they win the title, it will be regrettable of him. He's big we know but he should apply diplomacy and professionalism when handling delicate situations that doesn't affect his salary.

So if you're being cheated in a game, you keep quiet because the system supports cheating and you have to be focused on a playing that's unfair and rigged against you? Make it make sense mate, Ronaldo is fighting a good cause, he's fighting for fairness and against a corrupt football system, it doesn't matter whether he's playing or not, atleast he's trying to set things right and it's better than keeping quite and being cheated by an unfair system. Al Nassr fans should be proud to have a player like Ronaldo that would stand up against a corrupt football system.

This match was quite tense, where both teams trying to be very careful in making decisions that could lead to conceding goals. In the first half both teams seemed to maintain their rhythm and even focus on their respective defenses. And there were no big chances created until the whistle signaled the end of the first half. In the second half Al Nassr appeared to be more pressing by making several attacks that threatened the Al Ittihad team. Al Nassr's first goal was scored by Sadio Mane from a penalty awarded for a foul by Al Hilal defender Danilo Pereira. I personally predicted that Al Nassr would win this match based on a comparison of the two teams' performances. I thought that Joao Felix would have an immediate impact on the match with an assist or even a goal. But I was wrong about that. However Al Nassr performed quite well even without the presence of the Portuguese superstar.

[Gallar]

Last night,, Al Hilal played exceptionally well, defeating Al Okhdood with a resounding 0-6 scoreline. This represents a breakthrough for Al Hilal following the signing of their new player, Benzema. Benzema scored three goals in this match,, marking a strong start for him. If this continues, I believe Al Hilal will be increasingly difficult for any team to defeat. I previously thought Al Hilal would experience a prolonged decline in performance, but after bringing in this new player, everything changed, and their performance has improved again. That's why I believe Al Nasr is worried. It turns out Al Hilal's performance is truly excellent. And with this victory, Al Hilal's position at the top of the standings is safe again.

LOL.. Karim Benzema maybe a new player for Al Hilal. But he has been playing in the Saudi Professional League since 2023 (the same year when Cristiano Ronaldo joined the SPL). He was with Al Ittihad and actually represented them for a total of 14 matches this season. And then he suddenly moved to Al Hilal. They do have some very good forwards apart from Benzema, including Darwin Núñez and Mohamed Kader Meïté. And as we saw from this match, Benzema's addition has further strengthened them. Al Ittihad on the other hand will be severely weakened as a result of his absence, although they have Steven Bergwijn and Roger Fernandes to support Moussa Diaby.

Yes,, I know that, my friend, but I'm quite amazed by Benzema's performance, which is still quite good despite his age. Because in this match he scored a hat trick, and that is clearly extraordinary for an old player like him. Besides that, talking about Al Ittihad, yes, I also agree that this team's performance will definitely be getting weaker,, and that was proven in last night's match.

Because in last night's match,, Al Nasr managed to beat Al Ittihad with a score of 2-0, so that clearly makes Al Ittihad's position even lower in the Saudi Arabian League standings and it also shows how their performance is currently declining. Because in this match, Al Nasr was also not strengthened by Ronaldo, but they were able to play well. So you can imagine what would happen if Al Nasr were strengthened by Ronaldo in this match, clearly that would make Al Nasr win by more than two goals. And speaking of Ronaldo,, is he still angry about the unfairness of the funds given to Al Hilal? So I'm curious about this.

There are many sites you can visit to bet on Saudi Pro League matches. You can also find them on Rainbet.


I just realized that Benzema is no longer with Al-ittihad. I didn't watch the Al-Hilal match before, and however, after I realized that Benzema wasn't playing in the Al-nassr vs. Al-ittihad match. I was quite surprised to find out that Benzema was on the list of players who scored goals even a hat trick for Al-Hilal.

Did you also just find out about this? 
Honestly, I’m still surprised by his unexpected transfer.

Al Nassr broke the deadlock in the 84th minute with Mane scoring from the penalty spot. Al Nassr deserved to win this match as they dominated the match even managing 25 shots. Al Ittihad after losing Benzema struggled to score. This also contributed to Al Nassr's clean sheet.

Al Nassr victory over Al Ittihad keeps Al Nassr hopes alive of competing with Al Hilal, especially since Benzema's presence has made Al Hilal even more potent up front, making them a prolific goal-scoring team. I believe the SPL this season is highly competitive, especially after the controversy surrounding Benzema's move to Al Hilal which prompted Ronaldo to comment.

The game ended in favour of AI Nassr which is something that most of the fans expected although at first the game look to be a tough match waiting for AI Nassr but along the way the won with 2 goals and the opponent failed to make any possible equalising goal.

Saudi Pro League is going on and most of the fans want to watch big matches.Al-Nassr  football team played last match against Al-Ittihad Club and that was one sided match because Al-Ittihad Club could not do any goal in this match and their stats was not osum in this match.  Mané was a person who gave good start to his team and he did first goal at 84 minutes of the match and we saw no goal in the first half of the match which was very disappointing for that team. We saw 2 goals in the last minutes of the match and Ângelo Gabriel did last goal of the match and he did this goal at   96 minutes and made this win firm . Al-Ittihad Club shots were less in this match and these were 5 in this match and 1 shot was on target.

I think the real meaning of ups and downs has been experienced by the Al-Nassr team and their fans. Because the way Al-Nassr started this season was incredible and people love their being unbeaten style. And the way they were playing it is assumed that Al-Nassr will be the ultimate winner of this season. Every player was playing fantastically and people settled their expectations according to that level of energy. But the team surprised everyone by showing a huge decline in their performance and the points too. Which were really very disturbing and disappointing at the same time. And there are people who lose their hopes from Al-Nassr as they cannot win the season ever. But Al-Nassr has still not lost all the opportunities to have the best they just had to show the determination and dedication they joined.

[sana54210]

It would be SO FUN if Ronaldo leaves and Al Nassr ends up winning the title . That would basically be the nail in the coffin for him and his career and would be incredibly funny for us who sees him for who he really is.

Reality is that he is going to probably stay, Saudis will find a way to convince him, but at the end of the day if he leaves for whatever reason and they get another striker instead of him, not sure if they can even do it because of transfer windows but if he leaves and they do that and then they win? That is going to be incredibly funny and I wonder how he is going to react. I guarantee you that he demand respect for what he did for the club and claim part of the success as his even though he left .

The discussion of Ronaldo leaving the Saudi Arabian clubs side is not prevelent in most places and I believe that Ronaldo still have alot to offer AI Nassr, since his signing to the club there have not been any suggestion record for the club and that is also not too good for his career also.

The win was crucial in securing their trophy hopes, and I think Al Nassr were very fortunate to beat Al Ittihad.
Al Nassr are now only one point behind Al Hilal, and naturally expectations for Al Nassr to win a trophy have risen again. We are aware that Al Hilal remain very strong as the main title contenders, as they have so far managed to maintain an unbeaten record.
Al Nassr simply need to keep working hard while hoping that Al Hilal make mistakes, or otherwise they must be able to secure a victory when they face Al Hilal head to head. There are several difficult matches ahead for both teams, which will certainly determine the fate of Al Nassr and Al Hilal in the title race this season.

Al Nassr fans should be proud to have a player like Ronaldo that would stand up against a corrupt football system.

"Cheating" because one player moved to another team? That is how we see this now? I mean he moved to Saudi league because he was getting paid insane amount of money that nobody else in the whole world would pay him, so he is mad that some other team also getting a player that is getting paid that much and he is worried about rules?

Let's face it, he is not worried about rules or cheating or anything else, he is worried that the team who is above them, got a good player and he wished that they didn't, it is as simple as that.

When I thought it will end like that, they added yet another goal to firmly secure the lead.

I also had the same thought that Al Nassr would either win or lose that game yesterday because of the current issue in the club, but during the game Al Nassr performance was better than I expected. Al Nassr could have scored more than two goals but they wasted several chances. But that's the game and I'm very impressed with their performance.

Al-Nassr was facing Al-Ittihad which is not in its best shape this season.

Yeah, Al Ittihad aren't in the best shape this season. If it was last season that they won the league title, I don't think Al Nassr will take them lightly because Al Nassr have won Al Ittihad both home and away this season. But we must accept the fact that Al Nassr is also enjoying their best form and that's what gave them victory over them.

Do you even understand what's really going on? I really don't think so. You said his worried because one player moved to another team, if that's what you think then you have been left behind a long time ago. Al Littihad told Benzema they have no money to pay for his wages unless he joins Al Hilal, does this make any sense owning to fact that these two clubs are been managed by same body? Ronaldo is asking for equality amongst the four club being managed by the same group, which is Al Hilal, Al Littihad, Al Nassr and Al Ahli, his only asking them to spread the money equally. Just this January transfer window, Al Hilal spent €66+ million, Al Littihad €33+ million, Al Ahli €10 million and Al Nassr €400k same group managing four different clubs, does it make any sense? Since Ronaldo joined Al Nassr, Al Nassr has spent the least on transfer amongst these same four clubs which is €300+ million overall as against Al Hilal spendings in this same period €800+ million. Does it still make sense to you?.

Talking about his wages, do you realise that Ronaldo himself gave the Saudi league the recognition it has today that alone moved the Saudi league from less than €100 million they make per annum to a staggering €2+ billion raked up per annum. Do you still think he doesn't deserve the €200 million he gets paid yearly? I'm not even talking of his sponsorship deals, his image rights and his jersey sales. Some of you still don't understand how Ronaldo has transformed Al Nassr and the Saudi league in general to what we are seeing now.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The Saudi league is great, but there's something I don't like: that an Arab club with so much money isn't able to invest and improve everyone's situation. I think CR7's protest is justified To be honest, the Saudi league has gained a lot of value because CR7 is there. FOX already said they won't cover the league anymore because they've lost a lot of money. The CR7 effect is incredible. I hope things get sorted out; otherwise, I'll still support him wherever he goes It's that simple. I'm losing interest in this league, even though it has a very high level of play.

Without Ronaldo it won't be the same. For the last three years, it was CR7 who made sure that Saudi Professional League becomes one of the top football leagues around the world. If he leaves, at least half of the viewership will vanish with him. The other half will remain, as now a lot of fans got used to supporting the local clubs such as Al Nassr, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal. I would agree with you that Ronaldo's protest was justified. The PIF has been favoring the other teams for some time now. But then, boycotting the matches and eventually refusing to remain with the club went a bit too far.
