Al Nassr's defeat sparks viral video of Cristiano Ronaldo's visible upset, reportedly engaging in self-dialogue; online users share their opinions on the clip
In a nail-biting finale, the Saudi Super Cup final between Al Nassr and Al Ahli ended in a 5-3 penalty shootout, following a 2-2 draw in regulation time.
The match saw a series of dramatic twists and turns, with Marcelo Brozović giving Al Nassr the lead again in the 82nd minute, only for Roger Ibañez to tie the score in the 89th minute.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who recently scored his 100th goal for Al Nassr, managed to find the back of the net with a penalty kick in the 41st minute. However, it wasn't enough to secure the victory for his team.
Ronaldo, along with Marcelo Brozovic and João Félix, scored for Al Nassr, but Abdullah Al-Khaibari's miss proved costly in the end. On the other hand, Riyad Mahrez, Feras Albrikan, Franck Kessié, Ivan Toney, and Gelano were the scorers for Al Ahli.
The decisive moment of the match came during the penalty shootout, with Al Ahli's goalkeeper Benjamin Mendy saving two vital penalties, ultimately securing the victory for his team.
In a viral video, Ronaldo was seen mumbling to himself and looking unhappy after Al Nassr's loss, marking his third final defeat with the club in the last three seasons.
This victory marks Al Ahli's first Saudi Super Cup title since 2019, providing a much-needed boost for the team. The loss, on the other hand, will undoubtedly be a setback for Al Nassr and their star player, Cristiano Ronaldo, as they continue their quest for silverware in the Saudi Pro League.
