An outstanding performance by Serbians Aleksandar Mitrovic, who scored a brace, and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic left Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo without a reward, who saw the chance of adding his first title of the season with Al Nassr slip away after losing 1-4 to Al-Hilal in the final of the Saudi Arabian Super Cup on Saturday.
A resounding scoreline that few could have imagined when, with one minute remaining in the first half, Al Nassr took the lead with a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo, who had already scored last Wednesday in the semi-finals against Al-Taawon.
The Portuguese striker showed that at 39 years of age he is still insatiable in front of goal and did not waste the first opportunity he had, a back ball from Abdulrahman Ghareeb, to seal the 1-0 that made the team dream. Al Nassr with winning the title.
A dream that was shattered by the Serbian international duo Aleksandar Mitrovic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savicwho last season deprived Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr of the league title.
