Al-Nassr will visit Al-Ittihad in round 13 of the 2024-2025 Saudi Pro League.
Despite playing away, Al-Nassr still entered the game quite confidently and quickly put pressure on Al-Ittihad's goal.
In the 23rd minute, Al-Ittihad unexpectedly put the ball into the net, but the referee did not recognize the goal after determining that Benzema was offside earlier.
Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Al-Nassr faced another dangerous situation when Benzema took a long shot from outside the penalty area, forcing the away team's goalkeeper Bento to struggle to fly to block it.
On Al-Nassr's side, the opportunity to open the score also came close at the end of the first half when Sadio Mane faced goalkeeper Rajkovic, but he stumbled right in front of the empty goal, missing a delicious opportunity.
In the second half, Al-Ittihad quickly materialized the pressure with Benzema opening the scoring in the 55th minute. He made a smart move to receive Al Shanqiti's pass and finished accurately. However, Al-Nassr refused to give up and Ronaldo quickly equalized just 2 minutes later with a decisive finish.
The match seemed to end in a draw, but in injury time, Bergwijn exploded the stadium with a skillful dribble and a tricky shot into the far corner, sealing a 2-1 victory for Al-Ittihad.
With 3 points won, Al-Ittihad continues to maintain the top position with 36 points, 5 points more than the chasing team Al-Hilal. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr fell to 4th place with 25 points, 11 points away from the top position.
