Al Nassr: Cristiano Ronaldo
Despite the team at the bottom of the table taking a surprise lead on 17 minutes, Al Nassr never gave up hope and continued to press for an equalizer.
Al Nassr had the majority of possession and kept attacking the Al Batin goal but was unable to convert their chances into goals. Ronaldo, in particular, came close to scoring when his shot was cleared off the line after he rounded the goalkeeper. As the game wore on, it appeared that Al Nassr would suffer a shock defeat.
However, with 12 minutes of injury time shown on the clock, Al Nassr’s hopes of a comeback were raised. A free-kick was awarded to the home side, and the ball was played into the box. Abdulrahman Abdullah Ghareeb swept the ball home on 93 minutes, giving Al Nassr a glimmer of hope.
Ronaldo picked up the ball and raced back to the halfway line, knowing that there was still time for his team to snatch a win. Al Nassr's hopes were realized when Mohammed Al Fatil smashed in a loose ball after Ghareeb's dangerous free-kick bounced loose in the box, making it 2-1 on 102 minutes.
The celebrations were wild, and the win was made safe when Al Nassr broke at pace, and Mohammed Maran swept home from 12 yards, scoring the team's third goal in injury time. Al Nassr secured a 3-1 victory, moving two points clear of Al Ittihad at the top of the league after 19 games of the season.
The manner of the victory was the talking point of the game. Al Nassr displayed grit, determination, and never-say-die attitude, which are the hallmarks of champions. The win epitomized the team's fighting spirit and their ability to win games from any situation.
