A funny position brought together the two stars of the Saudi Al-Nasr team, Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal and Sadio Mane of Senegal, in the team’s last match in the 11th round of the professional league in the Kingdom.
Al-Nasr won this match by three goals, one goal, over its rival Al-Fayhaa, in a match that did not witness the usual scoring by the Portuguese team, which sits on the throne of the tournament’s top scorers after 11 rounds.
The Brazilian player Talisca scored two goals in the 50th minute and in the 61st minute. Only 6 minutes passed until the player Hussein Shweish was able to score Al-Fayhaa’s only goal, before Al-Nasr star Otavio succeeded in scoring the third goal for his team in the 75th minute of the match.
In stoppage time for the match, Al-Nasr coach Luis Castro decided to remove the Portuguese star from the field and let player Mohamed Maran enter in his place.
When Ronaldo left, the Portuguese star gave the team captaincy to the Senegalese striker, but Mane was also replaced a few seconds after Cristiano was replaced, as they did not know that they would exit at the same time.
