Ronaldo made a costly mistake losing a one-on-one chance, went silent, and scored very low; the Premier League Golden Boot created 3 goals as Al Nassr lost 3-2 to Al Hilal, suffering their first defeat.

At 01:30 on January 3rd Beijing time, the 13th round of the Premier League saw a top-tier confrontation with Al Hilal playing at home against Al Nassr.

In the first half, former Premier League Golden Boot winner Ivan scored twice, followed by Al Nassr defender Amri scoring two to equalize, with the half ending 2-2; Ivan delivered 2 goals and 1 assist, accounting for 3 goals in total, and both teams received a red card in stoppage time.

In the end, Al Nassr lost 3-2 away to Al Hilal, suffering their first defeat and ending their winning streak in this Saudi Pro League season, leading by only 2 points over Al Hilal, putting their top position at risk; Al Hilal ranks fourth!

Al Hilal lined up in a 4-4-2 formation against Al Nassr, led by Toni with Demiral anchoring the defense, butMahrez, Kessie, Ibanez, Mendy (goalkeeper), and other stars from the top five European leagues were all absent, effectively leaving Al Hilal without their entire central spine.The starting lineup was valued at €87.15 million; Al Nassr also used a 4-4-2 setup, with Ronaldo and Felix forming the Portuguese strike duo, Coman playing left midfield, Bruno positioned in central midfield, and Inigo guarding the backline, with a starting lineup worth €93.6 million.

In this match, Al Nassr took control despite being the away team, dominating possession with 70%, but Al Hilal’s counterattacks were sharp. Both sides unleashed a barrage of shots: Al Nassr fired 20 attempts, Al Hilal had 17 shots, while Al Nassr only had 4 shots on target and Al Hilal managed 7 shots on goal. Among them,former Premier League Golden Boot winner Ivan had 5 shots with 2 on target, scoring twice and adding 1 assist; meanwhile, Ronaldo had 4 shots with none on target and also mishandled the ball, missing a clear one-on-one chance.Felix had set up the chance perfectly, but Ronaldo failed to convert it.

After the match,Ivan earned a perfect score of 10; Ronaldo scored 5.8, which is a failing grade.The Portuguese star had the lowest rating on the field apart from the two goalkeepers. This top-level clash once again exposed Ronaldo’s struggles. Although his season stats look decent, his performance on the pitch has been very difficult. The Saudi Pro League title race is getting tougher; currently leading by 2 points, Al Hilal can overtake them if they win their next match. It seems Al Nassr is about to lose the top spot, and Ronaldo’s unfortunate record of zero titles in his fourth season with Al Nassr is likely to continue.
