In the early morning of August 18 (Vietnam time), Al-Nassr faced Al-Hilal in the final of the 2024 Saudi Super Cup.
Originally a competition between two teams with attacking philosophies, the match was exciting right from the beginning. However, fans had to wait until the end of the second half to witness the goal that broke the deadlock. In the 44th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo showed his goal-scoring instincts by moving smartly and accurately scoring from a teammate's cross, opening the score 1-0 for Al-Nassr.
It seemed that Ronaldo's goal would help Al-Nassr improve in the second half. However, the next 45 minutes of play saw Al-Hilal create a one-sided match against Al-Nassr.
In just 17 minutes, from minute 55 to minute 72, Al-Hilal scored 4 consecutive goals against Al-Nassr.
In the 55th minute, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic equalized the score 1-1 for Al-Hilal with a surprising penetration into the penalty area. 8 minutes later, Aleksandar Mitrovic put his team up 2-1 with a close-range header. In the 69th minute, the Serbian striker continued to shine when he scored the third goal for Al-Hilal in the 69th minute.
The peak of frustration for Al-Nassr came in the 72nd minute when goalkeeper Bento made a serious mistake, losing the ball to Malcom. The Al-Hilal striker did not miss an easy opportunity to score the winning goal.
In the end, Al-Hilal defeated Al-Nassr 4-1, thereby successfully defending the Saudi Super Cup title. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr continued to show disappointment with their 6th consecutive loss against Al-Hilal.
