It Is unfortunate that Al Nassr failed to give the first defeat of the season to Al Hillal, apart from the penalty that the referee probably should not have given in the match but in my opinion Al Hillal is still too tough for Al Nassr, Throughout the match we can see if indeed Al Hillal is able to dominate the match and make the Al Nassr defense have to work hard enough to stop the attack that Al Hillal continues to build,  I see the strategy and tactics applied by Jorge Jesus are more effective in containing the defense built by Al Nassr after Al Nassr won a quick goal in the game, Al Nassr who only focused on playing on the wing they failed to improve the midfield that continued to be Exploited by Al Hillal players.

I think Al Nassr should consIder replacing Luiz Castro next season, because so far the tactics and strategies he has applied in the Al Nassr game have only been effective when facing weak teams, but when they face strong teams of course it Is clear that the Al Nassr game is not effective and that is why Al Nassr has to lose a lot of points this season.

This good performance of Al Nassr comes from an unimportant match with Al Hilal and this means it's hard to assess improvement of Al Nassr's performance and their defense ability in this match. Assume it is actual improvement, they must maintain it, continue to improve it in the summer and return next season to beat Al Hilal in their direct matches and in Saudi Professional League.

If Al Nassr actually recognized that their biggest weakness is in defense system, they will spend money to buy defensive players and improve this area in their squad. By doing this, they will become stronger in defense and more competitive against Al Hilal for the league title next season.

I don't think Al Nassr can be satisfied with just a moral victory. They'll need more than a few great performances to fight for the crown next season. Ronaldo and Otavio were great, but Mane seemed so slow. World-class talent, Al Nassr will need him to shine to advance. This summer, I'll monitor their transfers. I think they might be a power if they add reinforcements and balance the squad. Al Hilal have set a high bar, and they won't give up their crown easily

It is clear that Al Nassr was both lucky and unlucky at the same time. Getting the first goal at 23rd second or something with Otavio was a lucky one, he really opened up the game and then for 99 more minutes nothing happened at all, sure there were a lot of chances and it wasn't a boring game in any means, but for about 98 minutes of this game there were no scores at all, and the result was a tie so we could say that we are talking about something that was boring if all you care is scoring.

It was also unlucky for Al Nassr because it was really just that penalty on what was it 94-95th minute? That is really questionable one and it wasn't even probably in but let alone that I think it wasn't even a penalty to begin with, very shameful decision.

The improvements happened from al nassr's side. I meant the consistency of its defenders has been improving a lot. It seems to me that the strategy used by al nassr was working very well to prevent al hilal from winning the game.

Al nassr was not playing offensively in this game. The club has gone through the defensive strategy caused by al hilal is far dominance in the ball possession.

Nassr can use this strategy in the upcoming season but im not really sure castro will use the same strategy to face nassr on king cup.

You are right and this is really interesting match, even this draw is also pretty good result after the 3 previous meetings were always defeats, if there was no penalty at the end of this match it would be win for Al Nassr.
Everything went well as expected, but at the end of the match it made everyone feel anxious, and what they were worried about actually happened, it was very fatal mistake.
But at least we are satisfied with the match, Al Nassr was able to withstand the game from Al Hilal and Al Nassr even managed to apply pressure and several attack attempts to create quite dangerous opportunities for Al Hilal.
There are still 2 matches left and I hope that with these 2 matches we can give Al Nassr win, it won't change anything but at least at the end of the season with their last match they show much better quality of play.

Yes, that is quite a good achievement compared to Al Nassr having to lose all the points and continuously being beaten by Al Hilal. We can count several times during this season that Al Nassr was beaten by Al Hilal and this is the first time Al Nassr achieved a sufficient draw. dramatic because Al Nassr was unable to maintain its lead until the match was over and made Al Hilal take a penalty kick which was able to break through Al Nassr's defense which had been closely guarded. However, Mitrovic is an Al Hilal player who is quite wary of thanks to his goals, now Al Hilal has won many wins. and through the Saudi Pro League without experiencing defeat and the only bad result was a draw.

If Al Hilal had not carried out this penalty, it is possible that Al Nassr could have stolen points from Al Hilal for the first time this season because Al Hilal has won over Al Nassr in their 3 meetings so far this season but unfortunately Al Nassr was only able to get one point even though Al Hilal has ensured that the title is in his hands, he is still trying to perform optimally in the Saudi Pro League, especially when facing Al Nassr, his strong rival in the Saudi League.

I didn't expect Al-Nassr to play well in the match against Al-Hilal and the score was 1-1, in my opinion it was progress for Al-Nassr and in that match the assist from Cristiano Ronaldo was really good which was given to Otavinho and fortunately Otavinho was able to take advantage of the opportunity well and to be honest I was surprised that in the 1st minute Al-nassr was able to score a goal and when betting I predicted that Al-hilal would win but it turned out my prediction was wrong. In my opinion, by looking at the results of Al-Nassr's match against Al-Hilal, of course I am convinced that next season Al-Nassr will have the potential to compete with Al-Hilal again and of course there is great potential for Al-Nassr to beat Al-Hilal. because I am sure that Talisca's return will one day make the Al-Nassr squad even stronger and of course will make Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal compete even more fiercely.

now without Talisca Al-nassr can play well and I am sure that if Talisca recovers from her injury then the Al-nassr squad will become even stronger. Ronaldo fans must be very happy despite the 1-1 draw against Al-Hilal and I also want Ronaldo to win a trophy in the SPL next season.

Youth is the time to go to war. Most of us know Cristiano Ronaldo's youth performance record. He was an iconic name in Portugal's football history. The whole football world would have gone crazy with the magic of his feet. History bears witness to its record books.

But age is not a barrier. Every person has to succumb to age and old age. The same will happen with Cristiano Ronaldo.

I agree with your words. Cristiano Ronaldo's name must be written in golden letters in the list of the best performances of the Saudi Professional League.

I think Cristiano Ronaldo should be retired from football history while there is respect and time.

It's a bad match for Cristiano Ronaldo because he wasted many good opportunities to score goals for Al Nassr. These wasted opportunities reveal ageing effects that are undeniable if we watch this match and follow Ronaldo's performances last two seasons.

He still manages to score many goals and it's impressive at his age but wasted opportunities show many things about ageing effects on his body and his performances. He still has amazing performances and stats at his age and it's magic to see he is doing that at his age nearly 40s.

Cristiano has very high chance to win a Best Scorer Award of Saudi Professional League this season and he will win it against a much younger player, Mitrovic.

Well, Al-Nassr draw against Al-Hilal was an achievement first of all since we are talking about a team that lifted the title this season and didn't lose a single match since the beginning.
The early goal was surprising for the Al-Hilal which failed to score until very late in injury time of the second half. Al-Nassr couldn't focus until the end of the game and awarded Al-Hilal a penalty which was converted to a goal by Mitrovic.

Al Nassr team is very strong at the moment, as they have lost most of the games they have played against Hilal in the past. But the reason for the draw in this match is that the defenders and goalkeepers of the Al Nassr team are not very experienced. Because they failed to counter attacks when they were a little distracted, I thought this match would be Al Nassr for most of the time.
But at the last moment, the game is equal, but if it is played with some more opposing teams and weaker teams, Al Nassr team can win and finish the points table and occupy the place.

Al Nassr fans were feeling so damn happy after their team led in the first half against al hilal, but a penalty has ruined their days for sure at the late game considering that it was making al nassr failed to win the game. Even though the time has showed if it's more than 10 minutes when the penalty happens. Al Hilal continues to defend its record as the unbeatable club in this season through the last penalty that has been successfully executed by mitrovic. It's incredible to see how al Hilal has been able to achieve so much up until now and it keeps the most difficult thing to be still remain unbeten in the league. There will be another match between Hilal and Nassr in the King Cup soon.
Do not miss it another match from nassr vs hilal in the king cup and this is gonna be fking crazy. We can't deny that Ronaldo squandered numerous chances in the first and second half, al nassr could win with more goals if ronaldo was not missing that chances. Remember when he was in front of the goalkeeper but his shooting power was too low at the time and it was totally his mistake by not aiming to the right side.

All of the teams in Saudi are also still dominated by local players. However, European players are increasingly dominating the main lineup. Al Hilal, Al Nassr, and Al Ittihad have more European players in their main lineup.

Well, Al Hilal seems successful to combine European players and local players. They can play solidly, they can show a game with great teamwork. It is something that Al Nassr and Al Ittihad can't implement in their games. I think they have almost the same quality but it is just about the teamwork and how to play as a solid team. If Al Nassr and Al Ittihad can do the same way, they can play better and more consistent in the next season.

Agree. Al Nassr needs to change again their coach. They need top coach, Mourinho seems suitable to manage Al Nassr. I ever heard the rumor if Al Nassr may be interested to negotiate with Mourinho. However, I am not sure of Mourinho will be interested to move to Saudi league. Besides changing the coach, Al Nassr also need stronger defenders and midfielders. The current players in these lines aren't enough to compete with Al Hilal.

Compared to the last game between Al Nassr and Al Hilal, the performance of Al Nassr was much better than the recent game they had and they got improved enough. But this can't be enough to beat a team like Al Hilal. the performance of some players in Al Nassr was amazing like Ronaldo and Otavio during this match but Mane was far from what we could ever expect to see from him.
They need to hire the other players and get the team improved for the next season to have better performance.

Next season could be completely different with things are going to be interested in this transfer window because again we are having reports few top European players are ready to join this league which is going to be good for the fans and clubs which are looking for the improvement into their quality and having some issues which will be fixed in this transfer window, and we will be able to have better things in next season even right now nothing is clear but few top players are already under radar with few are in talk to go ahead for having their contracts with their respective clubs.

Al Nassr is having problems with their defense and Al Ittihad is also bringing few big names as they are ended on huge disappointing end of the season Al Hilal is having good and complete squad with they are looking for just more strength which will be increase their quality.

Al Hilal have been frustrating Al Nassr ever since the start of the league, the fans must definitely be heartbroken after the equalizer because they must have thought they have won it this time around but unfortunately it seems they have to wait till next season. Al Nassr started well but Al Hilal are just too good this season and were able to control the game, despite being the champions they are not showing any signs of slowing down just yet.. we don’t know what next season holds but i am confident that they will find it difficult to replicate this performance and they will face more threat than they did this season.

Let’s hope Al Nassr will become stronger and defeat Al Hilal next season.

Even though there was no last minute goal, I feel like Al-Hilal deserved the match. Especially in the second half of the match, they completely controlled the match and looked for a goal with effective attacks, but the goal they were looking for came very late and at the end of extra time, they still found what they were looking for.

Cristiano Ronaldo assist was a normal pass. The positions he spent were actually positions that were likely to result in goals. If he had been younger, I think he could have converted some of those positions into goals. It is not the same as before, of course, it is normal due to his age. Other teams are not at the level of Al-Hilal, so Ronaldo can score goals much more easily against low-level teams.

After winning and it can even be said that victory Is in sight, even again al nassr failed to get 3 points after al hillal successfully to force al nassr to draw 1-1, to be honest, I thought yesterday match would be the first defeat for al hillal this season but instead we saw al hillal comeback in the 100th minute to maintain their unbeaten rcord in the league this season continues,  a quick 1 goal lead in the 1st minute was able to keep Al Nassr until the towards end of the match, but unfortunately for Al Nassr in the match after Mane made a touch on the face of an Al Hillal player who finally gave a penalty and made the final score a 1-1 draw while maintaining Al Hillal  record with 32 match unbeaten.

At the moment Al Hillal are dominated by the local squad is able to surprise us with their mentality and consistency in every game, in contrast to Al Nassr who indeed this season is very difficult to continue to maintain their consistency of victory in the league despite having a better squad quality this season than Al Hillal, I think if Al Nassr want to be able to compete for the championship trophy next season it seems that they will have to find another coach who is more Well, because If we look at their current squad of course if trained by a good coach then Al Nassr will be able to dominate the league next season.

Al Nassr started strong. First attack was beautiful, Otavio's finish from Ronaldo's feed was clinical. Here's the frustrating part, man. They didn't waste additional good chances.  It's ridiculous that Hilal controlled the game 65%. They set the tempo and pulled strings. Ronaldo had a great assist, but he missed few chances. Possibly ended the game for Al Nassr.  Hilal, they kept going in the second half. They persevered and were rewarded. Al Nassr fans must be heartbroken by that last-minute goal
