In the early morning of March 8 (Vietnam time), Al-Nassr hosted Al- Shabab at home in the 24th round of the Saudi Arabian National Championship (Saudi Pro League) 2024-2025. Ronaldo's team aims to win all 3 points to improve their position on the rankings.
Al- Shabab entered the match confidently away from home, and created a clear opportunity. In the 41st minute, they were awarded a penalty after Podence was fouled in the penalty area. On the 11m mark, Hamdallah made no mistake to score to help the away team take a 1-0 lead.
However, Al- Shabab's joy did not last long. Right before the break, Ronaldo had a free kick, making it impossible for the opposing goalkeeper to catch the ball, and Yahya promptly kicked the equalizer 1-1 in the 45+2 minute. Just 2 minutes later, Ronaldo took advantage of the confusion of Al- Shabab's defense to escape and score to increase the score to 2-1.
In the second half, Al-Nassr had difficulty when central defender Al Fatil received a direct red card in the 52nd minute. Taking advantage of the advantage of being one more player, Al- Shabab increased the pressure and equalized 2-2 in the 67th minute thanks to a header from Al Shwirekh. In the remaining minutes, although Ronaldo and his teammates tried to find a goal, they could not penetrate the visitors' defense.
In the end, the match ended in a 2-2 draw. This draw caused Al-Nassr to continue to rank 4th on the rankings, 10 points behind leaders Al-Ittihad, with only 10 rounds left in the season.
