A few days after scoring the 900th goal of his career, Cristiano Ronaldo did not score against Al-Ahli (1-1) and his team had to settle for another draw.

It was the shock of the weekend in the Saudi Pro League. Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mané’s Al-Nassr faced Riyad Mahrez, Edouard Mendy and Roberto Firmino’s Al Ahli on Friday night. With the champion Al-Hilal and Karim Benzema’s Al-Ittihad, these are the four big clubs in the Saudi championship.

After receiving the tribute of his supporters for having scored the 900th goal of his career in the previous match, Cristiano Ronaldo remained silent this time. It was the visitors who opened the scoring, on a cannon shot from Franck Kessié (57th). And Al-Nassr had to be content with this point snatched in added time, on an own goal from Bassam Al Hurayji (1-1, 90th + 9).

Ronaldo positive

After the match, Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to be positive in his message on social networks.

“Until the last minute! We continue to believe in it!”wrote the Portuguese.

In the standings, Al-Nassr are in 6th place after this lackluster start to the season, with 5 points taken out of a possible 9. Al Ahli are behind, ninth with one point less on the clock.
