Goals, high pace, and great controversy with the refereeing during Al Hilal’s three-way win over Al Nasr. “Cristiano left the match very angry, specifically because of a disallowed goal.”
The Spanish newspaper added: “The Serbian duo, Sergej Savic and Aleksandar Mitrovic, were the men of the match, especially in the amazing second half. Cristiano scored a goal, but it was ruled out for offside, which unleashed the Portuguese’s anger and discontent until the end of the match.”
For his part, the “Sports Center” account, affiliated with the American ESPN network, wrote: “Ronaldo went through a difficult time in the Riyadh derby, after losing by three to Al Hilal, the league’s leaders, and hearing the crowd’s chants for his eternal rival, Lionel Messi, on the field.”

As for the global “Football Log” account, it praised the level of Serbian Alexander Mitrovic, after he raised his scoring tally this season in the league championship to 13 goals, bringing him very close to Cristiano Ronaldo, who tops the scoring charts with 15 goals.
