The first half of the match has not changed in the score. Only in the second half did the nets shake for the first time.
At the 51st minute Brazilian Michael opened the scoring in favor of the team of Jorge Jesus. With 20 minutes left in the game, the score became difficult for Ronaldo’s team, who played one less, after the removal of Saudi Al-Amri.
At the moment of greatest difficulty, the Portuguese star appeared. In the 74th minute, Ronaldo scored the first goal and sent the final into extra time.
Already after 90 minutes of regular time, Al-Nasr scored a new goal for the Portuguese, the confirmation of which VAR took time.
It was the sixth Portuguese goal in five Arab Cup games.
Luis Castro was sent off in the 103rd minute, but the team that was already winning managed to stay ahead.
There was still time before the end for Ronaldo to leave the field wounded and crying. The Portuguese was wheeled off the pitch in a medical support vehicle and limped on his way to the bench.
This was the first time Al-Nasr had won this trophy, marking the first title for Ronaldo and Luis Castro in the Middle East.
