A fairly even opening five minutes with Al Taawoun starting this match brightly in particular. As expected, Ronaldo leads the line for Al Nassr, though league top-scorer Anderson Talisca - who has 13 goals in 13 appearances this season - is on the bench. No real response yet from Al Taawoun who keep surrendering possession far too cheaply in midfield. That said, their only league defeat of the season so far came against this opposition so they'll need to be very wary of the danger the visitors pose. Al Nassr are pushing for another goal before the break here. The Al Nassr defence was nowhere to be seen. The visitors attack down the right through some wonderful play from Saad Al Nasser. Al Taawoun have grown into this game substantially over the last ten minutes of play but so far are yet to have any big chances thanks to Al Nassr's solid defensive shape. Al Nassr can't get hold of the ball at all at present as Medran pulls the strings in midfield for Al Taawoun. It's a case of now or never for Al Taawoun who have been the better side overall in this second half but are yet to really threaten during injury time. The hosts play a corner short and the ball falls to Gustavo who strikes at goal.

Superstar attacker Cristiano Ronaldo starred once again for Al-Nassr, turning provider on Friday afternoon as they looked to return to the top of the Saudi ...

Ronaldo had the chance to double his side's lead soon after Ghareeb's strike, but his shot towards goal was easily saved. Al-Nassr held onto their lead for the rest of the first-half. As the group of Al-Nassr players broke up to return to their half, Ronaldo could be seen smiling. Ronaldo once again started the game up-front and also continued in the role of captain. Ronaldo immediately sprinted towards Ghareeb, who had run into the corner to celebrate. Instead the pass found its way to Al-Nassr winger Abdulrahman Ghareeb.
