Full power
In this fight, Al Nassr started the fight with full power. The core players in the 2022/2023 season were all fielded, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Anderson Talisca.
Al Nassr’s new player, Marcelo Brozovic, was also deployed. Brozovic played as a double pivot in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
This full strength turned out to only be able to lead Al Nassr to match Celta Vigo. The goal itself is safe, but they cannot hit the ball into the opponent’s goal.

Early Start of Disaster
The start of the disaster started when Ronaldo was withdrawn very early in the second half. Ronaldo was replaced by Abdulfattah Adam Mohammed in the 48th minute.
In addition to reducing sharpness on the front lines, Al Nassr lacks solidity at the back. The reason is, Abdulelah Al-Amri as a center back got a red card in the 51st minute.
Strategy adjustments were immediately made after that. One of them was by entering Abdullah Madu to replace Brozovic in the 54th minute.
Yes, those three crucial moments were a turning point for Celta Vigo. They were free to dismantle Al Nassr’s defense with a team that had all been replaced at the start of the second half.
