Pitch invasion at Al Nassr v Al Ittihad, Ronaldo blamed | OneFootball

The match between Al Nassr and Al Ittihad saw a pitch invasion. The confrontation in question was about the qualification for the final of the Saudi Super Cup, which ended up favoring Cristiano Ronaldo and his team. The yellows from Riyadh won 2-1, with the Portuguese star assisting the goal that sealed the victory.

Through a video that is already circulating on social networks, a child invaded the Hong Kong Stadium pitch during the match to meet his idol, the captain of the Portuguese National Team. The young boy ran towards the 40-year-old Madeiran, but was stopped by the technical team of the Riyadh squad.

The video highlights the reaction of Jorge Jesus. The Portuguese coach was preparing to make a change in the Al Nassr team when the child invaded the field. As such, the coach tried to shoo the young boy away from Cristiano Ronaldo, in order to continue the game.

It is worth remembering that the yellows from Riyadh ended up defeating Al Ittihad, despite the difficult task. At a time when the match was tied at one ball, Sadio Mané was sent off, leaving the Saudi capital's team with one less man. One of the highlights of the match was CR7's assist for João Félix's debut goal, which closed the match with 2-1.

Now, Jorge Jesus and Cristiano Ronaldo await the outcome of the match between Al Qadisiyah and Al Ahli Jeddah, this Wednesday, August 20, at 1:00 PM, to find out their final opponent. The decisive match of Al Nassr will be played on Saturday, August 23, at the same time, in Hong Kong.
