One of the main reasons for Al Nasser' two match loss was their star player and key striker CR7 not in the squad due to a knee injury. If Al Nasser's star player is not in the squad in a match then it can be assumed that Al Nasser may not win that match. Al Nasser's picture was completely different in yesterday's match.
They returned to focus on Saudi Professional League after spending their best for two cups. Their star players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane now are fully ready for Saudi Professional League and they immediately had a good show.
Sadio Mane scored the debut goal of his SPL career yesterday. Sadio Mane scored two goals in yesterday's match and Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the team's main sticklers, completed the hat-trick. Not only did he complete his hat-trick but also had an assist and 11 shots.
Al Nassr won their first match in the league with 5 goals from Ronaldo and Mane but I am more impressed about Brozovic. The Croatian midfielder has contributed good balance from defense to creativeness in attacking for Al Nassr. It's not surprised at all after what he shown in Croatia and Inter Milan. I believe that in this season, Brozovic will be the most important player of Al Nassr, not Ronaldo or Mane but of course he will be less mentioned on media.
However, Al Nasser's total standing is not very favorable as they are in the 10th position in the points table and have only 3 points. Although it is only the opening game and there are many more games to go, it is not impossible for Al Nasser to finish in the top three of the points table.
They won their first match and jumped to the 10th rank. They will improve their rank more after next 3 or 4 matches as after getting two defeats, they need time to crawl up on the ranking table of Saudi Professional League.
