Al-Nassr Win the Saudi League After 7 years
The Al-Awwal Park virtually exploded with its roof just about managing to stay put. The fans were going berserk. Al-Nassr had won the Roshn Saudi League after 7 years, in a gruelling, scathing battle with Al-Hilal, which culminated on the last day of the season.
The Fans Celebrate With Gay Abandon As Ronaldo Wins His First Title in Saudi Arabia
The supporters, no wonder, unlocked all the emotions and celebrated with gay abandon. Cristiano Ronaldo had eventually won the Saudi League, his first in 4 years with Al-Nassr. The agonising wait was over. Jorge Jesus, in his first year as Manager, had woven his magic.
Jorge Jesus, The Senior Shepherd
The Portuguese senior, all of 70, guided the side brilliantly through the entire 34 games, winning 28 of them, losing 4 and drawing 2, thus accumulating 86 points, which eventually proved enough for the Knights to claim the title.
Sadio Mané Breaks The Deadlock
The nerves were immense when Al-Nassr took the field against Damac last night. The tension was palpable all around as the first half hour went goalless. But Sadio Mané, the humble warrior, struck a magnificent header from a Joao Felix corner to give Al-Nassr the much-needed hope and encouragement. But Al-Nassr needed a cushion, and a few more goals were required, and it so happened.
Kingsley Coman Doubles It With A Sensational Strike
Kingsley Coman struck the goal of the match with his ferocious left foot from just outside the box. There was no stopping the screamer as it flew in the air and curled into the net. Coman brought the house down literally in the 51st minute. Al- Nassr now had the cushion and could breathe a bit easier. However, a small twist was coming.
Damac Score, but Ronaldo Strikes Back With Impunity
Damac got back into the game with a questionable penalty. Bento got a touch but could not stop the ball. Damac had made it 2-1. Pressure began to build again. Al-Nassr had to score another, and Cristiano Ronaldo obliged with a beauty in the 62nd minute. The legend struck an incredible free-kick from an acute angle. The ball curled ever so slightly to beat everyone and entered the net, setting the fans into an unbelievable frenzy. Ronaldo had sealed it with his 27th goal of the season. The fans were smelling the Cup.
The Second from Ronaldo Seals The Game for Good
Ronaldo scored again in the 80th minute, his 28th, to seal the deal with a super finish from close range. Damac had been well and truly beaten.
A New Era Begins in the Saudi League
The Long Whistle ushered a new Champion in the Saudi League as crazy fans danced away into the night. A teary-eyed Ronaldo appeared more relieved than happy. He had given his all, and finally, the heavens had smiled on him. Sadio Mané, Joao Felix ( with his 13 assists, the highest in the RSL) and Kingsley Coman had been instrumental in Al-Nassr’s successful chase of the Title.
Signed. Sealed & Delivered, The Knights of Najd are the Champions of Saudi Arabia.
