Cristiano Ronaldo gets swollen lip but no penalty as Al Nassr collapse and fall SEVEN points from league lead. Cristiano Ronaldo had an evening from hell in Saudi as Al Nassr succumbed to a 3-0 defeat against title rivals Al Hilal.

Top-of-the-table teams Al Hilal and Al Nassr faced each other in the Saudi Pro League 2023-24 season. This was the final match at the King Fahd International Stadium before the stadium renewal.

Al Hilal secured a 3-0 win and extended their lead to seven points after 15 matches. Al Nassr were unable to score against the best defensive side in the league.

Leaders Al Hilal moved seven points clear of their closest rivals as a late Aleksandar Mitrovic double came after Sergej Milinkovic-Savic's opener.Home side Al Hilal took the lead in the 64th minute, but there was plenty of drama between that and Mitrovic's brace.

Ronaldo thought he'd scored the equaliser in the 73rd minute, but his stunning first-time volley was just offside, something the 38-year-old furiously disputed.

Then with five minutes to play, Ronaldo lept for a Sadio Mane cross, and got caught up in an almighty tumble.

Morocco hero Yassine Bounou came out to punch the ball clear, but completely missed and ended up on top of Ronaldo.

The Portuguese rolled around in agony, and although replays showed the original punch didn't make contact, it did appear Bounou came down on his head after.

That was backed up by the former Real Madrid superstar sporting a swollen bottom lip, needing treatment before repeatedly shaking his head at the referee.

Al Hilal’s Ali Al-Bulaihi received a red card after controversially celebrating in front of Al Nassr fans. Six players were booked in the last 30 minutes of the match. Al Hilal are now on 41 points in 15 games and Al Nassr will remain second on 34 points.

easy bro, banter is part of the game

Yeye Ronaldo fans will come and defend him now. He hS been scoring against fringe players but couldn't pass Koulibaly. Lol

Make Cristiano Ronaldo enjoys his walahi tali club

If Tapnaldo had won, he would have been shining teeth and said in interviews why Saudi league is growing to become one of the best leagues in the world. I doubt if that happened today


Tapnaldo always scores freely against small and soft teams like al wehda, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein etc but wen it comes to a tough al hilal side or any other tough side baba no dey get clue sef. He go dey find goals to steal.

Ronaldo and Messi have nothing again to prove but their fans need to keep on the momentum by hyping.

No! Your headline Must Be from the content of your post naaa. I read that twice without seeing where the headline came from.

The headline you used is different from the headline of your source. Why you like violence like this?
