Al Hilal, coached by Jorge Jesus, beat Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nasr 2:1 this Monday in Abu Dhabi and confirmed their participation in the Saudi Super Cup final.
The match was marked by the sending off of Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of the losing team, in the last minutes, when the game scoreboard already showed a two-goal difference.
The moment the Portuguese was shown straight red, there was confusion on the field and several clashes between athletes.
Goals from Al Dawsari (61st minute) and Malcolm (72nd minute) ended the match, but Al Nasr still responded with a late goal from Sadio Mane (90+9).
Three Portuguese took part in the game. In addition to Ronaldo, Otavio was in the starting line-up for Luis Castro’s team. Ruben Neves was in the winning starting line-up.
With this result, the 33rd consecutive victory for Jorge Jesus’ team, Al-Hilal guarantee their presence in the final of the competition, where they will face Al-Ittihad.
