DUBAI: Al-Nassr’s horror season hit new depths on Saturday as the Riyadh club lost 2-1 at home to Al-Ahli in the eighth round of the 2020-21 Saudi Professional League season.
Last season’s runners-up came into the match second from bottom of the table having lost five and won only one of their seven matches so far this season. The result now leaves them stuck on four points and still in 15th position, while Al-Ahli now sit in second place, three points behind Al-Hilal, who have a game in hand.
With pressure on Rui Vitoria and the players growing by the game, it was not surprisingly the first half was initially a cagy affair with neither team willing to overcommit. Al-Nassr had the better of the first half an hour with a few half chances, but the soon the match would explode into life.
