Ronaldo sends Al Nassr to Saudi Super Cup final

Captain Cristiano Ronaldo's assist helped Al Nassr defeat Al Ittihad 2-1 in the Saudi Super Cup semi-final.

Goals: Mane 10', Felix 61' - Bergwijn 16'

Red card: Mane 25'

In the 61st minute, Ronaldo, receiving a through ball from center-back Mohamed Simakan, expertly timed his run to beat the offside trap. The Al Ittihad defenders hesitated, believing Ronaldo to be offside. Facing the goalkeeper, the 40-year-old superstar unselfishly squared the ball to Joao Felix, who tapped it into the empty net to secure the 2-1 victory.
