Cristiano Ronaldo lost the Saudi Arabian Super Cup; Al Nassr couldn't prevail over Al Ahli

The Al Nassr, with Cristiano Ronaldo, failed to win the Saudi Arabian Super Cup, losing in a penalty shootout against Al Ahli. Jorge Jesus's team had victory within reach, but another mistake by Bento while serving the Riyadh team led the match to penalties, where the Jeddah team eventually triumphed.

The Saudi capital team took the lead on the scoreboard at 40 minutes into the game. Yahya attempted a cross into the area and Majrashi touched the ball with his hand. Cristiano Ronaldo, from the penalty spot, made it 1-0. Al Ahli equalized in the game at 50 minutes. Franck Kessié, with a beautiful finish, leveled everything in Hong Kong.

In the second half, it was Al Nassr - which is up for sale - that took the lead again. At 81 minutes, Marcelo Brozovic stole the ball from Franck Kessié and finished with a shot to Mendy's left corner to leave Al Nassr with one hand on the Saudi Arabian Super Cup.

However, the opponent did not give up and continued to attack in search of an equalizer. Matthias Jaissle's team was rewarded at 88 minutes. Bento poorly handled the ball after a corner kick, and Roger Ibañez took the game to penalties.

After a 2-2 draw at the end of regular time, the match went to penalties, with the Jeddah team winning 5-3. Wenderson Galeno, a former Porto player, scored the decisive penalty. Abdul Al-Khaibari was the only player to miss.
