Al-Nassr lost the penalty shootout, allowing Al-Ahli to win this competition. Congratulations to Al-Ahli.

Al Ahly denied Ronaldo his second official trophy, and honestly, I felt disappointed about that. With the kind of players Al Nassr has now, I didn't expect them to lose in this Saudi Super final. I know Al Ahly is also a strong team, and both teams showed equal performance, but I had high expectations for Al Nassr to win this match. However, it ended in a penalty shootout, and Al Nassr's weakness in midfield affected their game. The absence of Sadio Mané also contributed to their loss. Cristiano Ronaldo put in effort to help the team win this trophy, but luck wasn't on their side but that's football, hard luck to them.

If one of Al Ahly's players had not scored a goal towards the end of the match, the game would have ended in normal time and Al-Nassr would have won the trophy by securing a 2-1 victory over Al-Ahly. It is really sad to see Ronaldo's reaction because this player tried from the beginning to the end to help the team win the trophy but his efforts alone did not work out. Al-Nassr have spent a lot of money this season to bring good quality players to their club and they have brought several players to the club so naturally we thought that maybe Al-Nassr would win the final but our expectations were not met.
If Al-Nassr's defense could have supported the team a little better towards the end, maybe that goal in the 89th minute would not have happened and the result of this match would not have been decided by penalties.
