In the end, Al Nassr proved his skills when he hosted Al-Ahli in the match that just ended. In this match, Luis Castro didn't change his squad much, he only left Fotana on the bench. then, played in the 77th minute. As predicted, this match will produce lots of goals from both teams. on the Al Nassr side, Talisca and Ronaldo both scored 2 goals. but Talisca became Man of the Match with one assist. For Ronaldo, he has now scored 9 goals in his 6 matches and has also scored the most goals so far.
In this match, both teams both had many chances, although Al-Ahli had more chances than Al Nassr. However, Al Nassr controlled the match and even took the lead in the first half.
Yep, it has been predicted that this match will be many goals. We can understand this because both team are in a good form, specifically Al Nassr. Moreover, Al Nassr is playing at home, they must have a big motivation to win and make many goals.
Anyway, I'm surprised Seko Fofana on the bench but Al Nassr still released great line up in this match. The players on the starting line up is probably the players who are in best condition.
Well, Al Nassr played effectively today, although Al-Ahli made more chances to score but Al Nassr could score more goals. I think there is a bit problem with Al-Ahli players, they look not very good in accuracy.
Nevertheless, Al-Ahli is still catching up. As a result, the match ended with a score of 4-3, a victory for Al Nassr. now, both teams have the same 15 points. The difference is, Al Nassr is more productive in terms of scoring goals.
Yes, Al Nassr is in 5th place now, meanwhile Al-Ahli is in 6th place. Al Nassr returns to the top 5, next they will target to return to the top 3 on SPL standings.
By the way, in this match Al-Ahli coach Mattias Jaissle tried to experiment by rotating some of his players. Mahrez is the sole striker, while Firmino is the attacking midfielder. As a result, Firmino played increasingly underperforming. while Mahrez scored from the penalty spot.
It was a bad idea to make an experiment on the big match. Al Nassr isn't a small team, Al-Ahli coach mustn't try to change the players' positions in this match.
