Cristiano Ronaldo added another historic goal to his tally during Al Nassr's tense clash with Al Shabab, but the Saudi Pro League giants extended their winless streak after a dramatic 2-2 home draw on Friday.
Al Shabab silenced the home crowd just before halftime when Abderrazak Hamdallah converted a penalty after Daniel Podence was fouled. But Al Nassr responded swiftly, with Ayman Yahya capitalizing on defensive chaos to equalize in stoppage time. The momentum shifted decisively when Ronaldo fired home Sadio Mané's assist for his 926th career goal – initially ruled offside before VAR overturned the decision.
The second half brought fresh challenges as defender Mohammed Al-Fatil received a straight red card in the 51st minute. Despite valiant efforts with 10 men, Al Nassr conceded to Mohammed Al Shwirekh's header off a 67th-minute corner, settling for a share of points.
This result leaves Al Nassr with just one victory in their last six matches across all competitions, raising questions about their ability to maintain pressure in league standings.
