The game finished, and Al Nassr comfortably won the game with 1-4 against their host team Al Taawoun and further reduced the point gap they have between them and their league leaders Al Hilal down to 7 points. It was really an entertaining first half and second period of games. There is still hope for them to likely catch up points with Al Hilal if they continue to win their games and if Al Hilal happens to drop points, more games ahead to play and anything can happen.

I don't think Benzema will ever leave Saudi Arabia as a football player anymore. Even if he doesn't sign with the club, he stays in the team and continues to receive his money. He's considered too old for football now. He's not sure if he's ready for another European adventure or not. I think Benzema should stay in Saudi Arabia and focus on doing his best.

It was a huge win for Al Nassr tonight as they continued their good away performance. Their hit man, Cristiano Ronaldo did not fail to join the goal scorers as he closed the scoring at the 92nd minutes to end the match at one goal to four in their favour. Despite this win , Al Nasrr is still lagging behind the top team Al Hilal by seven points. It is not clear if this season is settled for Al Hilal because external matches have a way of making big teams lose focus and Al Hilal is famous for that. Al Nassr just need to continue winning their matches and hope their greatest rival flops to reduce the gap between them.

That is a big trouble for him if true. I mean we are talking about a situation that should not be acceptable in any club in the world, but when we are talking about a nation with such strict rules, it's really not that easy for him to get away with these things. First stop will be making sure that he is not getting paid, if you are willing to not go to work, then you should be willing to not get paid as well which is why I doubt that he is caring about that.

Another thing would be that he should be punished with code of conduct as well, you need to let the team know. We are going to see who is bigger, Benzema or the team, because team should let him go with a rightful cause without paying him if this is true, the more they don't do it, the more power they are giving to Benzema as well. f he is allowed, next stop would be other players starting to do the same thing, because they would say Benzema did it and nothing happened, so I could potentially do it as well.

There is no doubt that Al Nassr has already win the match because it will not be easy for Al Taawoun to comeback and take the lead within the added minutes. Al Nassr will have added more goal to make it four before the final minute of the game without Ronaldo in the team, this show that the team is good without Ronaldo.

I thought Al Nassr would win, they scored 3 goals and are leading the match. However, the interesting thing is that Ronaldo had no influence on these 3 goals. Ronaldo neither scored a goal nor made an assist. The goals came from midfielders and defenders. In fact, this situation reveals what quality feet Al Nassr has. They get 3 points with 3 goals from an important away game. They can win even if Ronaldo doesn't affect the score. Of course, without Ronaldo, the viewing rates of the matches may be different (lower).

I think Benzema had many other problems besides club, there are many negative talks and memes about him on social media. Btw Saudi Arabian fans are very aggressive and expect to win only from one great player because they pay jackpot. Karim Benzema's salary is 100 million euros per season. He gets millions of Euros per week. Saudi also wants Benzema as ambassador for FIFA 2030 world cup because they are bidding to host. I don't know how long they plan to pay jackpot to each star football player because they should get a return on their investment but it seems that they are super serious and will do whatever it takes to transfer the football world from Europe to Saudi.

Al Nassr is the most famous SPL club in the world and their popularity gave extended to Europe, and everyone wants to see them play football but with the GOAT, Cristiano Ronaldo. A footballer lover can not make compliement towards Saudi Arabia football without mentioning Cristiano Ronaldo who have been outstanding in all rounds and he's quite the most important player in the history of European and Saudi football. He's no stopping, rather he's creating more popularity for himself in Asia and that's the fundamental point he should make.

I disagree. I think Al Hilal has better players in every position. In the current match, Al Tawoon took a 1-0 lead against Al Nassr. CR7, who made Al Nassr famous, played there. Other than that, I don't think it has any appeal. Al Hilal, on the other hand, made logical transfers and improved its team in every field and brought it to this level.

The 10 point difference between Al Hilal and Al Nassr is very difficult to overcome, whereas today Al Nassr has to play away against a slightly stronger club like Al-Taawon.
We can see from the statistical data that Al nassr was defeated and humiliated at home by Al-Taawon with a score of 0-2. This is a very bad result for Al Nassr. Meanwhile, in today match, Al Nassr has to play away and this is the difficulty that Al Nassr will face. in fact I would not bet on this match because it is a little difficult to predict the final result of the match.
But it just speculation that Al Nassr is not very consistent and it seems like betting on a total score under 3 seems better than betting on the club winning which very difficult because this match has almost similar odds but double odds like Al-Taawon or Al Nassr also seem comfortable.

I think it is very wrong for Al Ittihat fans to react so much to Benzema. Football is a team game and Al Ittihat is a team with star players, but if you cannot be a team, the results may not be good.
If Benzema is even this way
He could easily continue his football at Real Madrid. Especially this season, when Real Madrid had a striker problem in many matches due to injuries, he would easily be included in the squad.
I think his departure is not just fan criticism, there are definitely other reasons. If the coach or Al Ittihat executives make a statement, we will learn what is behind the scenes of the incident.
The intermediate transfer period is starting in Europe. At worst, he plays for a team in his own country. Someone who has already earned a lot of money by this age should not need money from Arabia.

Very strange what happen with Benzema i dont have any clue, i only read in someplace that the new coach put the team to a double training session after bad results, but i dont think for that Benzema is gonna dissapear, maybe he is in talks with some european team? I dont think that but.... you never know.

Even if Al Nassr can continuously win in every match, at the same time Al Hilal also has to lose many points from the matches they play. The problem now is that they are very strong and very difficult to beat and even getting a draw from them is something difficult to do. Difficult doesn't mean it can't be done, it just takes time and Al Hilal are unlucky to say the least.
Al Nassr don't have to focus on that, they just have to focus on themselves, how they can always get 3 points. One match they can capitalize on is their meeting with Al Hilal. In the first meeting they lost and that made their point difference away, in the second meeting later do not let the same thing repeat because it will make them more distant from Al Hilal.

Al Nassr are a better team compared to Taawoun, who’re struggling. Al Nassr has the title chase in mind and know how important all 3 points are in this fixture; another thing is to get goals for star man, Ronaldo and by that Al Nassr would need to go all out to attack Taawoun. And with the confidence they've got from their recent 2-5 victory against Al ittihad away from home,  I  believe they'll do better when they meet Taawoun.

 Al Nassr are the best pick for this fixture and another wonderful pick will be how many rains of goals we’ll have in this match as I see Al Nassr having over 3 goals in this match. It’ll be not just a risk but quite foolish to give the win to Taawoun because they’re struggling and might not be able to match the strength of Al Nassr who are really bent on catching up to Al-Hilal, I don't think they'll likely drop more points.

How can it be a boring game? The explanation for the unfavorable odds for Al Hilal against Feiha is that their chances of winning are quite low. Feiha was a garbage team and it has no reason to all it as a good team. Al hilal has a higher standard compared to the feiha and that result was a common thing for me.
I do like this caused by i can easily won the game. The performance of al hilal is undeniably convincing and it has a strong influence on dedicated supporters, including myself. No doubt that i would like to call that SPL shall give trophy to the al hilal.
It keeps consistently take three oints from other club. It's the what i called that as a perfect team. Al Hilal is not just impressive in their offensive capabilities, but they also excel in their defensive strategies. It's really convincing me to pick al hilal in any match.
When it comes to maintaining standards, Al Hilal goes above and beyond, surpassing even its toughest competitors. No doubt that la hilla was always getting perfect result. I would like to sum up the performance from al hilal in 2023 into the one word and that's "amazing"

That's possible only if al hilal will be missing some points. As long as al hilal keep win the upcoming games then it will be a pressure for al nassr caused by as a club that is placed in the second place then it needs to perform consistently to keep up with al hilal.
This is still remains the big question whether al hilal is going to have another flop performance. In fact, metrovic is always competing with ronaldo till this time and this is the main problem for al nassr. We can argue that if al hilal can lose some points but it can also happen with al nassr as well.
Im still standing in my choice to pick as hilal as the winner of saudi pro league this season. Al hilal has proven that if the club is now in the perfect condition compared to another club in the saudi pro league.

Mitrovic and savic are the centre of game play from al hilal this time. I can't deny the contribution from these players are a lot to the club. Mitrovic is having an ambition to beat ronaldo in the top scorer race.
These strikers are competing each other and the second leg between al hilal vs al nassr will be so good. The chance of al nassr to beat al hilal is pretty small though.

the news coming from saudi arabia is not good, karim benzema disappeared

I have already commented on this many times, and I will repeat myself once again, Saudi Arabian fans are not moderate fans, they are very aggressive fans and think that just one player is enough to win all the games and they have a lot of memory short, last season this benzema team was champion of that league but this season, because they are in that current position, they immediately rushed to fire the coach, which made it possible for them to become champions last season, because for these Arabs, when they buy a player, they They begin to think that the players and coaches they bought became the property of the Arabs. This thought is due to the fact that these Arab people have lived under dictatorship for centuries

European players who are used to living in democracy, they will have a lot of difficulties adapting to this league and I have always said that the day Ronaldo retires and leaves Saudi Arabia, all good famous players who went to Saudi Arabia They will leave Saudi Arabia as soon as their contract ends. I don't see this league having the same reputation in 4 years. I hope Benzema is well and shows up and tells us what happened to him. It's sad that Real Madrid's best player from past seasons is going through this, I was sad when he left Real Madrid, as a Real Madrid fan I thought he didn't make a good decision to leave Real Madrid for Saudi Arabia. the greed of money blinds people

It seems that it is difficult for Al Nassr to catch up on points with Al Hilal, the difference in points is now 10 points. Al Nassr has not yet played its 19th match against Al Taawoun. If Al Nassr can win this match, it means the difference in points with Al Hilal will be 7 points. This is still difficult to catch because Al Hilal this season has performed very well and they have not even been defeated in 19 matches in the SPL, of course they still want to maintain this trend.

Al Hilal this season is too strong and solid, putting pressure on its closest competitor Al Nassr. Al Hilal can also always play consistently because they have players with a combination of two creative midfielders Milinkovic Savic and Ruben Neves, and a strong defense like Koulibaly.

Someone need to give hard tackle to Mitrovic, so he will get an injury or out from season, this will make Al Hilal lose their primary striker.

It really looks hard for Al Nassr to overtake Al Hilal, I'd say Al Nassr is stronger than Al Hilal, but in terms of consistency Al Hilal is better than Al Nassr. Al Nassr need to import more players to compete against Al Hilal.

If you look at the point difference between the two, it is still very possible that Al Nassr can overtake Al Hilal.
This only depends on Al Nassr's consistency for each match with a guaranteed win, and hope that at least Al Hilal has a few matches that end in a draw.
Because losing seems impossible for Al Hilal considering the very complete composition of its players.
If the point difference gets closer, I think it will be even more exciting to watch the Saudi Arabian League. Especially if Al Ittihad is also able to climb to the top 5 rankings.
