This will be the second game of the two teams against each other in King Cup, this first game against this two in King Cup was last August when they faced each other in semifinal clash when Al Nassr played against Al Taawoun in 10 against 11 players and Al Nassr secured a win with 2-0 and was later defeated by Al Hilal in final with 4-1. Today they are going one on one together, Al Nassr are running unbeaten since August when they faced defeat against Al Hilal, they really maintain themselves in winning or draw, I will said Al Nassr have improved a little bit in their performance while Al Taawoun really suffered a defeat against Al Hilal with 2-0, the performance of this two teams are very cleared and with their current form Al Nassr stand a chance to win but let see how it goes because of their last meeting.
Your predictions turned out to be wrong, my friend, because the result of this match was won by Al Taawon with a narrow score of 1-0. You definitely didn't expect this result, because I also didn't expect Al Nasr to lose in this match. But this is the reality, Al Nasr's steps in the Saudi Arabian King's Cup had to stop in the last 16.
Al Nasr's failure in this match was because their front line was unable to take full advantage of opportunities. Because we can see in this match Al Nasr was really able to control the match quite well, because in this match Al Nasr was far superior to Al Taawon in terms of ball possession and goal opportunities. In this match Al Nasr was able to release 15 kicks towards the goal and also 5 of them were opportunities that almost became goals. While Al Taawon was only able to launch 9 kicks towards the goal and also 4 of them were opportunities that almost became goals. So it is clear if we look at this Al Nasr should have been able to win this match. But because Al Nasr's front line was unable to take full advantage of all these opportunities, Al Nasr finally had to lose in this match.
And besides that, Al Nasr's rival, Al Ahli, was able to win the match against Al Tae with a fairly convincing score of 4-1. So with that, the competition between Al Nasr and Al Hilal was won by Al Hilal again.
