Al-Qadsiah gave Al Nassr their first defeat this season. A result that is indeed difficult for Al Nassr fans to accept because Al-Qadsiah is arguably a promoted team, but now they are playing quite well by competing with strong teams at the top of the standings. It seems that this bad result for Al Nassr will increase the points gap between Al Ittihad and Al Hilal. The next match Al Ittihad will face Al Fateh and Al Hilal will face Al Khaleej. If Al Hilal is undefeated again, then Al Nassr can stop dreaming of the SPL trophy.
I think the saddest person is Ronaldo, he scored but Al Nassr still lost. The reason for the failure is that coach Pioli has not been able to find a solution to help Al Nassr play better, especially to improve the defense. Al Nassr held 66% of the ball and had 20 shots, but they only scored one goal. Ronaldo still played hard, but he alone could not make a difference. Al Nassr remain third, and are in danger of falling nine points behind leaders Al Hilal. Worse still, Al Nassr also let the two teams behind them, Al Shabab and Al Qadisiyah, equalize points on the rankings.
The road ahead promises to be full of challenges for Ronaldo and Al Nassr. Al-Hilal is too strong this season, even without Neymar. Ronaldo and Al Nassr face another nightmare against Al Hilal. Al Hilal will easily beat Al Khaleej.
