Al Nassr ensured themselves of second place in the table after they won the recently concluded match by 1-3. They played well, but I was a little surprised by the resistance given by Al Feiha, because they could also threaten the defense of Al Nassr several times and they did it when they were under pressure or AL Nassr controlled the game.
With this win they can also keep their distance from their competitors who are currently at the top of the table, Al Hilal. Yes they are now 2 points clear, and that's a tight gap with plenty of games still to play.
IMO, it has become a necessity for Al Nassr to win the match against Al-Feiha, especially referring to the H2H records of meetings between these two teams, Al-Feiha always loses when they meet Al Nassr in both home and away matches.
Referring to yesterday's match between Al Hilal vs Al-Ahli, which the home team won. hinting that Al Nassr must win the match to maintain a points distance from the top of the standings. Referring to the first match, it seems that the match went quite tough. Even though Al Nassr was slightly better in possession of the ball, it seemed like the home team also put up resistance and this was proven by the statistics of both teams in the first half.
In terms of opportunities, the two teams did not have a significant difference, Al-Feiha with a total of 6 shots, Al Nassr with 8 total shots. These two teams both had 1 shot on target. Apart from that, Al-Feiha has 2 big chances, Al Nassr only has 1 big chance. In the second half it wasn't much different, even though Al Nassr actually increased the aggressiveness of their game. The point is, both teams have the same chances.The difference is, Al-Feiha only had 3 big opportunities, while Al Nassr was able to take advantage of 3 opportunities to convert them into goals. As a result, Ronaldo and his colleagues were able to win this match and at the same time shift Al Taawoun's position to second place. Thus, these two rivals are only temporarily separated by 4 points. Al Hilal with 29 points, while Al Nassr with 25 points. Next, let's follow which teams consistently play match after match in the Saudi Pro League competition.
But the bad news is, it seems that Anderson Talisca had a problem, therefore he was withdrawn in the 67th minute. So far, there has been no news regarding his injury.
