RONALDO SCORES AGAIN AS AL NASSR EDGE AL RAED 2-1 – Al Raed in Buraidah to climb up to third in the Saudi Pro League
Al Nassr claimed a 2-1 victory away to Al Raed in Buraidah to climb up to third in the Saudi Pro League (SPL) standings. Having threatened to score with Otavio hitting the crossbar with a thunderous volley, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring for the visitors in the 35th minute, getting the slightest of touches from a Marcelo Brozovic freekick.
Nawaf Boushal doubled Al Nassr’s lead shortly after half-time, before Amir Sayoud pulled one back for the hosts in what proved to be nothing more than a consolation.
