📹 Mané almost the villain, Ronaldo assists, João Félix the hero as Al-Nassr reach final | OneFootball

The first of potentially many Al-Nassr versus Al-Ittihad matches of the season ended with a victory and a spot in the finals for Cristiano Ronaldo's team this Tuesday (19).

Mané - who would later be sent off - and João Félix, after a pass from the big man, secured the qualification to the Saudi Super Cup final with a 2-1 win over Benzema's team.

The match was held at the Hong Kong Stadium.

Al-Ahli (who inherited the spot from Al-Hilal) and Al-Qadsiah face off this Wednesday (20) in the other semi-final.

The team that played in the last Club World Cup gave up the tournament to focus on their pre-season.

What was that, Mané?

It took just ten minutes for Jorge Jesus's new team to open the scoring after Mané completed Brozovic's cross.

The equalizer came soon after, with Diaby (16').

The sequence saw Mané's expulsion after a clash with a stomp on goalkeeper Yousef.

CR7, the humble

It was up to Cristiano Ronaldo to make the difference in the final stage.

After receiving a great pass, he - who is seeking his 100th goal with Al-Nassr - was face to face with Youseff.

But he preferred to set up his compatriot João Félix.

João Félix would score another, but the goal was disallowed for a foul.

Cristiano Ronaldo is only seeking his second trophy with the Al-Nassr jersey.

He has only won the Arab Champions Cup, a tournament of lesser weight, in 2023.
