Al Nassr came from behind to haunt Damac FC as Cristiano Ronaldo‘s team clinched their 7th win in the Saudi Pro League. Damac, who was leading 1-0 at half-time, was rocked by consecutive attacks in the second half. It was a hard-fought victory for the Knights of Najd. However, not all were concerned with the result. During the post-match celebrations, Al Nassr’s defensive duo had an altercation.

Soon after the start of the second half, Anderson Talisca equalized the score. Cristiano Ronaldo matched Talisca’s urgency as he scored a stunning free-kick in the 56th minute, sealing the win for his side.

Saudi Pro League’s heat gets the best of Al Nassr players

Tensions built up soon for the Knights of Najd as Damac scored an early goal. Luis Castro and his players though were able to clinch a comeback win but the heat of the moment got the best of two of Al Nassr’s players. The two players snubbed the post-match celebration, as they got into a heated argument.

The two players involved in the fight were Abdulelah Al Amri (Centre Back) and Nawaf Al-Boushail (Right Back). The duo got into an argument citing their positional responsibility and gameplay. Abdul Al Amri got angry and refused to join the celebrations with the team.
