Al Nassr succeeded in getting a 2-2 draw at away against Al Riyadh with one red card. Even though this is not to be much celebrated, they ought to be proud that they could avoid losing even with one man down. It is really something to build upon in the coming season because most times will despair as soon as they are issued a red card, besides not every coach knows how to manage such situations.
This is a match in which I expected Al Nassr to win. After all, they were going up against a team that was somehow staying out of the relegation zone. Al Nassr actually did well to break the deadlock and score the first goal. But after that Al Riyadh was able to score 2 goals in the first half and going into the halftime break by having an advantage. After Laporte got a red card, I thought the match might be over for Cristiano Ronaldo’s team. But in the 97th minute of the match, Al Nassr was able to score the equalizer. They were able to take one point from this match by scoring in the injury time.
I know this is not going to have any effect on the table because the winner of the Saudi pro league has already been decided and Al Nassr is going to finish in the second position. But the performance should have been better from Al Nassr.
