"Al-Nassr dropped points in the Saudi Pro League for the first time this season as Georginio Wijnaldum's double earned Al-Ettifaq a 2-2 draw on Tuesday. Al-Nassr's run of wins to start the season ended at 10, with Wijnaldum netting his second 10 minutes from time after Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix had turned the game around. Saad Al Nasser had a straight red card downgraded to a yellow following a VAR review,"
"Al-Nassr were firmly on top but went into the break behind after Sultan Al Ghannam rattled the crossbar with a 25-yard effort. Just over a minute after the restart, though, Felix picked out the bottom-left corner and midway through the second half his shot went in off the back of Ronaldo. Wijnaldum fired home Radi Al Otaibi's cutback against the run of play with 10 minutes remaining, and Al-Nassr were unable to regain the lead and maintain their 100% record."
Al-Nassr dropped points as Georginio Wijnaldum scored twice to secure a 2-2 draw for Al-Ettifaq in Dammam. Saad Al Nasser's straight red was downgraded to a yellow after a VAR review. Wijnaldum opened the scoring by finishing a swift break with a bent finish into the top-right corner inside 16 minutes. Sultan Al Ghannam struck the crossbar from 25 yards, and Joao Felix equalised just after the restart with a low finish into the bottom-left. Felix's shot later deflected off Cristiano Ronaldo to put Al-Nassr ahead before Wijnaldum's late strike cancelled the lead. Al-Nassr's perfect start ended at ten wins.
