Ronaldo 'invisible', Al Nassr's unbeaten streak ends this season

Match result - On a day when Cristiano Ronaldo underperformed, Al Nassr faced a loss at Al Ahli in the 12th round of the Saudi Pro League.

The first half was very exciting as both teams quickly scored, with a total of four goals recorded. Ivan Toney quickly put Al Ahli ahead in the seventh minute. Shortly after, the former Brentford striker shone again by controlling a long ball from his own half and finishing powerfully, completing a brace and giving the home team a clear advantage.

Trailing by two goals, Al Nassr appeared stunned but surprisingly managed to reduce the deficit thanks to a costly mistake by goalkeeper Abdulrahman Al Sanbi, who let a long-range shot from Abdulelah Al Amri slip through his legs despite it not being very threatening.

When Cristiano Ronaldo was ineffective, Al Nassr's defense once again became their backbone. From a corner kick with a tricky trajectory by Marcelo Brozovic, the Saudi defender rose high to head decisively, equalizing at 2-2 as Al Sanbi failed to react in time.

Just before the hour mark, Ivan Toney made another key contribution with a clever backheel that kept the set-piece alive, allowing Merih Demiral to head in a goal, putting Al Ahli ahead 3-2.

In the remaining time, Al Nassr pushed forward seeking an equalizer but struggled as both Ronaldo and Joao Felix underperformed. The tense moments in stoppage time, with Ali Majrashi and Nawaf Al Boushail both sent off, did not change the outcome. Al Nassr accepted their first loss of the season, opening the door for Al Hilal to take the top spot on Sunday.
