…sent packing out of the Saudi Arabian Super Cup
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr lost 3-1 to Al-Ittihad in the semi-final of the Saudi Arabian Super Cup, with the defeat marking the Portuguese star’s second match with his new team.
Rudi Garcia’s side could hardly do anything as they were far inferior to their opponents, with Ronaldo having very few chances in front of goal.
Ronaldo, who was handed the captain’s armband for his second game with the league leaders, could have no complaints about the result. Al-Ittihad scored twice during an impressive first-half performance, and Nuno Santo’s side managed to hold on fairly comfortably after Anderson Talisca pulled one back for Al-Nassr midway through the second half.
