Ittihad was not able to perform even better compared with the first half. Team has been trying a lot to intensively attacking al hilal but it was not able to scoring. Al hilal is still performing quite well this time. It's still able in keeping the unbeatable record owner by the club. Al hilal was playing without its main striker but it's still able in winning against ettihad. The club was still performing very well and i think hilal is owning this season. Al hilal has no competitor who can compete for the title race. The club is still performing very well. I can imagine if mitrovic and neymar will also play together in the same club.

The match has proven that if al hilal was strongest team in the SPL. People can also think if it's not possible anymore to catch al hilal which is leading the competition. The dream for al nassr to get SPL trophy this season has already ended.
The result against hazm is a very embarassing result. So, al nassr was always rely upon ronaldo, right? The defensive line of al nassr is so garbage. They played like a low tier defenders. The goal keeper was also making it even worse.


Al hilal is not owning a lot of expensive players but thing that i do like that from al hilal is this club was able building very good chemistry. it can be seen from how al hilal was always able having very good communication between one to the each other.
it makes the gameplay is able connecting between ohne to the each other. This is not owning by other club.

Al Hilal team is winning almost every game this season. Malcom in particular is a very good and experienced player. Although in this match Al Ittihad team started the goal early but did not get any chance later. And with Al Hilal scoring three goals in a row to win the match, a huge gap has been created in this match. Al Hilal had 67% of the total possession while Al Ittihad had the remaining 33%.

There was nothing surprising even though Al-Ittihad managed to break into Al-Hilal's goal first and this actually increased the intensity of attacks from Al-Hilal who wanted to maintain their unbeaten record. Luckily, none of the Al-Hilal players gave up and all of them had a strong winning mentality. If in that match Al-Ittihad can beat Al-Hilal it will certainly be a news headline for a week because with the lack of preparedness this season and the problems that are still floating within Al-Ittihad it will be a pleasant thing if they succeed in beating the only team that not yet defeated.

But what we see is a club on the diamond and Al-Hilal is not only filled with great players but the strategies used by the coach are much more reliable. I think Al-Hilal's desire to win the Saudi League title cannot be denied and neither club at their level can stop them until now. The 3-1 win at home against Al-Ittihad further opened our eyes to the real rulers of the Saudi league.

No team has been able to stop them so far, even when facing a team that is better than Ittihad FC, namely Al Nassr they are still able to maintain their clean record this season, especially when facing Ittihad FC, a team that is trying to get back up but unfortunately against Al Hilal it makes their winning streak had to be broken, and Al Hilal's victory was according to many people's predictions.
Al Hilal showed that they were the best team because against Ittihad FC they showed an impressive game not only because they were able to score three goals but how their defense also played solidly so that their opponents found it difficult to penetrate the goal to score and were only able to score one goal.
Hamdallah was unable to score a goal for Ittihad FC this time and their playing system which tended to be defensive and different from the strategy in previous matches was unable to withstand Al Hilal's well-coordinated attacks, in fact Al Hilal did not find it difficult because they were able to score 3 goals, and Al Hilal became champions of the Saudi pro league only waiting a few matches before ensuring it was theirs.

The answer is al nassr can or can't. I tell you if having ronaldo in the squad is not giving guarantee to win the game. Ronaldo's absence was caused by his bad behavior on his last celebration for his goal. Having him in the squad is only improving the club but it's not giving club guarantee win against its opponent.
Did you also aware how numerous times al nassr failed to win the game even ronaldo was also playing in that game? This is another shitty result from al nassr. The chance to get SPL trophy becomes very less. Al hilal was able getting three points even when it was facing a tough game.

I define that al hilal as a winner this season. I think that any statement about there are still a lot of remaining games will not be viable again. Ronaldo needs lower his target caused by SPL is impossible to get since the gap is very very big.
The only last chance for al nassr to take the trophy this season through AFC champion league. The chance is also pretty small though since al hilal is also qualified for the current round.

The performance from nassr is just getting even worse than before. This club is performing so poorly, even against a club that was still placed at the bottom. Things are going even harder for al nassr at the end of season.

Can Al Nassr continue wining matches without Ronaldo? They will face challenges but it will be levelled equal because they're outstanding team. NCristiano Ronaldo faces one match ban due to his adamant actions display on the pitch and It was directed to Al-Shabab, an mediocre team will burst out from no where and tempt with a world best player. There's absolutely nothing wrong because of Ronaldo is a fierce player that swifly catch up with these motives, atleast he can manage himself. He don't give up deliver when his team puts eyes on him but he's missing in because of the dear.

Ittihad was nothing. Al hilal played without mitrovic and ittihad was still losing against it. Imagine that if mitrovic was joined in this game and it could be the end for al ittihad. Still too many chances were missed for al hilal and i could end with more than three goals in total made by hilal. ittihad was a mediocre club against hilal.
A bit surprised to see that if neymar was also watching al hilal against ittihad. He was feeling so happy after al hilal made the second goal against ittihad. There's no team that can stop al hilal at this moment. it's still remain unstoppable with the bigger gap to the al nassr.
Im very happy my prediction was right caused by al hilal did everything to win the game. Ittihad was always pressuring since the first minutes but it's not able to keep its tempo. Kante was the only player that was working hard in al ittihad.
It surprised me that benzema was not playing in the game. I hope mitrovic can comeback stronger as soon as possible. Al hilal will be more crazy to have him play as a striker. We got a winner for this season and it's al hilall.
I don't see chance owned by al nassr to compete against al hilal. Al hilal is something in term efficiency and accuracy.

Al Hilal 3-1 Al Ittihad

Al Hilal Unbeaten is still on, from the earlier stage of the match when Al Ittihad scored I started wondering will this be the end of Al Hilal unbeaten record and unfortunately they end up winning the match, Al Hilal  is the most strongest team on SPL and have no competitor for title race, Al Nassr that was closed are not as powerful as Al Hilal, Al Nassr yesterday match against Al Hazm disappointed me because I didn't expect the result I saw, or will that be because Ronaldo was absent, how will they allowed Al Hazm to draw match in their home, I fill sad about it, with what am seeing Al Hilal will be the one to win the trophy.

Suspending the Fan in not going to be possible because I don't think the fan that were busy shouting can not be recognised in the means of thousand, the suggestion you are bring that they should suspend the Al-Shabab is not going to be possible because this is against the rules, fan are all allowed to support their team and can do anything for their team to win. So the Ronaldo that was suspended is fine

The players are signing in important facts of their reputation in their club. We must have get acquainted with the morale and negative energy coming for supporters, these set of people are so annoying and they try their best to see a player they hates, been the victim of declined performance. But when it comes to Cristiano Ronaldo, the rules are different and we're suppose to know ruthless and confident he is. Ronaldo will face his punishment but that doesn't stop him from making his running goals milestone to 1000 goals, he can achieved it because he's consistent.

It is not very surprising, Ronaldo got a punishment of a suspension of 1 match because he made an aggressive act when the fans chanting Messi on Ronaldo. I'm not a loyal fan of Ronaldo, but I think Ronaldo deserved to do it because the fans were annoying him too much. Al-Shabab fans may be unsatisfied because they were defeated at home. In my opinion, if Ronaldo is punished, those fans should be punished as well. The fans who make a problem, Ronaldo won't do an aggressive act if the fans never chanted Messi name.

The punishment shouldn't be applied for the players only, there should be a punishment for the fans, too. For example, Al-Shabab will play with no supporters in the next few matches.

In the end, Al Hilal was able to increase the point difference from its rival Al Nassr by winning 9 points. previously, Al Nassr was held to a draw with a score of 4-4 against Al Hazem. now, it is Al Hilal's turn to play their match against Al Ittihad. even though Mitrovic was not played in this match, the fact is that Al Hilal was able to continue its positive trend with a score of 3-1. I already thought that Al Hilal would be able to score at least two goals during their match. and yes, in the match against Al Ittihad, Jorge Jesus' team beat Al Ittihad with a score of 3-1.

In this match, Al Hilal really controlled the game. moreover, in the first half ball possession was with 71% ball possession. After Ngolo Kane scored a goal for his team, Saleh Al Shehri was able to equalize 1-1. in the second half, Al Hilal increased their lead. Malcom and Sergej Savic both contributed winning goals for their team. In this way, Al Hilal further widens the point of its rival Al Nassr. even though there are still 12 matches remaining, if Al Hilal continues to appear with a positive trend, especially by winning in every match. automatically, Al Hilal deserves to be the League champion this season.

exactly! and this is what I expect from Al Nassr.
but unfortunately maybe the coach relies too much on Ronaldo so that when he loses his flagship player the coach doesn't have another option to replace Ronaldo with the same scoring talent as Ronaldo and in fact there are still Talisca and Mane but these two players only prioritize scoring without thinking about the defense.
different from Ronaldo, he is very professional even though he thinks about how to score, but Ronaldo often provides assistance in the defense line so that the defense becomes stronger when Ronaldo tries to help get into the defense line when under intense pressure, whereas yesterday Mane and Talisca were seen very rarely providing assistance on the defense line so there is no other reason than to concede with the same score.

of course it is very different because all of this involves coaches in terms of how to manage players to become stronger without relying on certain players and in fact Al Hilal managed to create a strong performance without having any shortcomings and compared to Al Nassr it is very different.
but it's natural for the coach to rely on Ronaldo because he is really very influential, but all of this provides good experience for the Al Nassr coach not to rely on certain players.

Ronaldo  absence in the match against Al Hazm really had a big influence on his team and it was proven that Al Nassr had to be satisfied with getting 1 point in the match after drawing 4-4, the match was quite exciting and full of tension because from the start of the match, the two teams immediately started playing impressive by attacking each other, but unfortunately for Al Nassr, when they were quite confident of winning with a penalty goal in the added minute of extra time, they were caught off guard when the match entered the final minute due to a goal scored by Ricardo in the 90+9 minute, with the result being a draw of course increasingly widening the gap between Al Nassr and Al Hilal who are at the top of the standings currently.

Ronaldo one-match ban has given bad results to Al Nassr's performance, but I think we can't blame Al Shabab fans just because they keep mentioning Messi name during Al Nassr vs Al Shabab match, because after all there is nothing wrong if the fans want to bring down player mentality the opposing players without contain racism and intimidation which leads to physical injuries  the players, Ronaldo should be wiser and not do stupid things which will ultimately be detrimental to him and the club as it is today.

I read he was absent from the game due to his weird decisions that lead to that controversial celebration after that win they had from the previous game.
Cristiano Ronaldo wasn't just banned for the game but was also fined a high sum to be paid. But really these fans are already going nuts, he should have done better though, not all things worth reacting to right now to Cristiano Ronaldo.

But what's mandatory was seeing his teammates gain all three points during that game. Thanks to Sadio Mane for stepping up in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo.
But then, am I the only one who thinks they need to do better with sealing the defense?

Im disappointed about Ronaldo's absence in the last game, and you're right about its impact on and off the field. His absence makes Al Nassr a different team. Their reliance on Ronaldo's goals shows in their inability to score. Besides goals, his presence on the pitch boosts the team's performance. His absence changes the mood off the field. Ronaldo's absence drains the stadium's life. Shame on him for being suspended for a minor matter. It should wake him up to control his emotions, no matter how irritating the supporters are. After all, his actions affect the team and its fans.

Tuchel is the one that makes the most sense, not sure about Salah because he is from the region and there could be some political reason, not sure if there will be or not but I know there are some tensions for sure.

The thing about the rest is that those players are still on their prime, maybe not Casemiro but someone like Kevin De Bruyne? That dude is the most important player in Manchester City even at this age, he is passing the ball like crazy, just the other day everyone talked about how Haaland scored five goals, but did you notice that KDB actually had three assists that game as well? Both City will want to keep him, and KDB will want to stay at the very top, until he can't. I can see him going there in a few more years, but not anytime soon.

That's too bad to see Ronaldo is important like this for Al Nassr and without this player on their team they lose points even against a team like Al Hazm which is not a strong team to stand against a team like Al Nassr.
Maybe it's the time for Al Nassr to start thinking about alternative options and strategies for the time when they don't have Ronaldo in their team otherwise they are going to have problems like this happening again for Nassr in the game when they can't use Ronaldo for some reason.
I think this can show the difference between a team like Al Nassr and Al Hial because Al Hial got more points and had better performance because they weren't dependent on one player at all.

30 conceded goals is a sign that their bottom line needs to be improved. Laporte is good as an anchor below to guard Al Nassr's defense, but he himself will not be able to carry out his duties well if other defenders such as Amri and the two wing-backs forget their position when the team is building an attack.

What a good idea you offer that Al Nassr's defense is in trouble. Al Nassr's rival, Al Hilal, who will face Al Ittihad soon, has just conceded 10 goals.
If Al Nassr's bottom line is good, then they need to pay attention to defensive midfielders to help Brozovic.

In fact, Ronaldo's figure has an influence on Al-Nassr's performance. And yes, I was disappointed with the draw that Al-Nassr got in that match. But still it's much better than losing. But in that match Al-Nassr's attack line was actually fine. but the problem is in the midfield and back line which have many gaps. I think in that match Al-Nassr underestimated Al-Hazm so much that Al-Nassr focused their strategy too much on the attack line and they actually made the back line look weak. And the midfielders were also several times late in dropping back to help defend. And actually, both teams in this match had many opportunities which they failed to convert into goals. Especially Al-Nassr who had more opportunities but kept wasting them.

This match ended in a draw as the final result. Taawoun was not able to maximize the better statistic owned by the club. Taawoun has a poor defensive line that helped wehda to score three goals against it. There must be a rotation to be made in the defensive line of taawoun as a solution to fix this.



The result of ball possessions and total shot on target is explaining a lot. Taawoun owned the game, but it was missing many chances. Wehda was able defending quite well against taawoun even though it was not fortunate enough to win the game caused by taawound was scoring at the late game.
There is no change in the position in the current standing.

Taawoun has been missing an opportunity to gather three points. Wehda was almost amking it to steal three points but glad to see that taawoun scored the second goal.
