Hey soccer fans! ⚽️ Exciting news from the football world! Did you catch the match last Friday?
Cristiano Ronaldo’s team, Al Nassr, faced off against Al Shabab in a thrilling game that ended in a 2-2 draw!
Although Al Nassr started strong, it was Al Shabab who scored first. Just before halftime, Daniel Podence was fouled inside the box, earning a penalty kick. Abderrazak Hamdallah scored, putting Al Shabab ahead 1-0.
But Al Nassr didn’t give up! In stoppage time, Ayman Yahya blasted a powerful shot into the net, tying the game 1-1! 🚀
Then, just five minutes later, Sadio Mané assisted Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored an incredible goal from a tight angle—his 926th career goal! 🌟 At first, the goal was called offside, but after checking with the video assistant referee (VAR)—that’s like a special replay system to help referees—it was allowed! Al Nassr led 2-1!
However, early in the second half, Al Nassr’s Mohammed Al-Fatil received a red card (meaning he was sent off), leaving his team with only ten players. Al Shabab took advantage, and Mohammed Al Shwirekh scored with a header in the 67th minute, making it 2-2.
Despite both teams trying hard, the match ended in a draw. Al Nassr has now only one win in their last six games.
Even though Ronaldo scored an amazing goal, Al Nassr couldn’t secure the win. Better luck next time! 🙌
