"It was the fourth game in a row without a victory for Jorge Jesus' men, form in stark contrast to their early-season run that saw them win their opening 10 league games. Al-Nassr seemed to be back on track when Cristiano Ronaldo put them ahead three minutes before half-time but Salem Al Dawsari's penalty and further efforts from Mohamed Kanno and Ruben Neves, again from the spot, meant more misery for the visitors."
"Al-Nassr are now seven points behind leaders Al-Hilal. Not an insurmountable deficit to overcome were it not for the fact Simone Inzaghi's side have won their last 19 games on the trot, including the last 11 in the league. Jesus was critical of his players after the Al-Hilal setback and called on them to improve their discipline with Nawaf Alaqidi dismissed on the hour mark - Al-Nassr's second red card in their last three games."
Al-Nassr suffered a 3-1 defeat to Pro League leaders Al-Hilal, marking their fourth consecutive match without victory after a 10-game opening winning streak. Cristiano Ronaldo scored to put Al-Nassr ahead three minutes before half-time, but Salem Al Dawsari's penalty, Mohamed Kanno's goal and a Ruben Neves spot-kick reversed the score. Al-Nassr sit seven points behind Al-Hilal, whose manager Simone Inzaghi's team have won 19 consecutive matches, including 11 league wins. Jorge Jesus criticized his players' discipline after Nawaf Alaqidi received a red card, Al-Nassr's second dismissal in three games. Al-Shabab secured a 3-2 win over Neom SC with Yannick Carrasco scoring twice.
