And it was Ronaldo who delivered the decisive blow.<\/p>\n<p>Al Nassr enjoyed the upper hand in midfield, buoyed by Marcelo Brozovi\u0107\u2019s return after missing the King Cup clash against Jeddah. For Ittihad, N\u2019Golo Kant\u00e9 and Fabinho worked tirelessly to steady the ship, but their efforts were undone by vulnerabilities out wide.<\/p>\n<p>Sadio Man\u00e9 and Kingsley Coman continually stretched the flanks, forcing Ittihad\u2019s fullbacks Ahmed Al-Julaydan and Muath Faqeehi onto the back foot. The breakthrough came when Man\u00e9, drifting into space on the left, whipped in a teasing cross.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo, timing his run to perfection, rose above his marker and powered home a header\u2014clinical, ruthless, and unstoppable. It was the breathing space Al Nassr craved, and a moment that underlined Ittihad\u2019s struggles in dealing with aerial deliveries.<\/p>\n<p>With Jo\u00e3o F\u00e9lix lurking and Coman\u2019s pace unrelenting, Ittihad\u2019s defense now faces an uphill battle to keep the contest alive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ronaldo Strikes as Al Nassr Punish Ittihad\u2019s Defensive Lapses<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":104553,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-104552","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
