When Al Nassr has the opportunity to be able to shorten the distance from the two teams at the top of the standings, they actually must to stumble from the team that is actually far below them, currently the match between Al Hillal vs Al Ittihad is running quite tight and the two teams still drawing 1-1 in the 43rd minute , if you look at the aggressiveness and balance of the game from both teams it seems like a narrow victory for one team or maybe also a draw will be the final result of the match.
Al Nassr in the match against Al Ettifaq actually played quite well despite a goalless draw in the first half, but the second half actually their can first lead 2-0 over Ettifaq, but unfortunately Fatil who previously managed to score 1 goal for Al Nassr, precisely made a mistake that led to a goal and also create an own goal which finally made Al Nassr fail to win 3 points in the match.
Well the truth is that we all know that Al Nassr can never win the league this season especially when both Al Littihad and Al Hilal are in mad form. Even the team in 3rd position might actually finish in that position that's if they don't slow down and continue in this their good form.
Al Littihad 4 Vs Al Hilal 1, the home side were really determined and showed a class of champions by completing the comeback after they scored the second goal. Al Littihad is invisible at home ground since this season they have played 11 home games and won all. That's the spirit of a potential worthy champions
Losing a lot of points at the beginning of the season is the main reason why Al Nassr always failed to win the league in the last two seasons and that is also the same case this season, Although they were able to rise in the mid-season but unfortunately it was too late for Al Nassr to get back into the championship path, Al Ittihad victory over Al Hillal yesterday further widened Al Nassr distance from the top of current standings now, so the only realistic target for Al Nassr is to end the season in AFC zone, although that is also a difficult challenge for them this season.
