Ronaldo had a lackluster match

Right in the first minute, Talisca controlled the ball and finished neatly in the penalty area to put the home team ahead.

Al Hilal rose strongly after conceding the lead, the away team continuously responded but the strikers were all unlucky in front of goalkeeper Bento's goal.

On the other side of the front line, if Talisca had been luckier, they could have had a hat-trick if the situations where the ball was put into Al Hilal's net at the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half had not been flagged for offside.

Meanwhile, Al Nassr's most anticipated star, Cristiano Ronaldo, played poorly. Also because the 39-year-old Portuguese striker was "taken care of" enthusiastically by Al Hilal players in this match.

Al Hilal's efforts were finally rewarded. In the 77th minute, Milinkovic-Savic comfortably headed the ball past goalkeeper Bento, bringing the visitors to a 1-1 draw.

During the remaining time, Al Hilal continuously attacked and pressured Al Nassr, but the away team's strikers could not defeat goalkeeper Bento.

With a 1-1 draw, Al Nassr continued to rank 3rd with 19 points.

Starting lineup:

Al Nassr:
Bento, Al Boushail, Simakan, Laporte, Alganham, Brozovic, Al Khaibari, Talisca, Otavio, Mane, Ronaldo

Al Hilal:
Bono, Cancelo, Koulibaly, Al-Bulayhi, Lodi, Kanno, Milinkovic-Savic, Malcom, Al-Qahtani, Al-Dawsari, Mitrovic
