Al Nassr vs Al Raed | Highlights | Roshn Saudi League | 22nd August 2024

Transcript

00:00Al Nasser faced disappointment in their first Roshan Saudi professional league match against

00:04Al Raid, where the performance of goalkeeper Mshari Sanaiwar played a pivotal role on Thursday.

00:10Despite a strong start, Cristiano Ronaldo's opening goal was not enough to secure the

00:14victory.

00:16Ronaldo put Al Nasser ahead with a header, his 22nd goal of 2024, following a well-placed

00:21cross from Sadio Mane.

00:23However, Al Raid equalised after Aymeric Laporte conceded a penalty, which was converted by

00:28Al Raid captain Mohamed Fouzair.

00:32Throughout the match, Al Nasser struggled to assert dominance.

00:35The first half was evenly contested, with Al Raid threatening to upset Luis Castro's

00:40side, even having a goal ruled out for offside in the 17th minute.

00:45Ronaldo's goal gave Al Nasser a much-needed boost, but the team's defensive errors in

00:49the second half cost them dearly.

00:52Laporte's foul in the box provided Al Raid with a penalty opportunity, which Fouzair calmly

00:56converted to level the match.

00:58Mshari Sanaiwar was the standout performer for Al Raid, delivering a near-flawless performance.

01:04He made key saves, including a crucial stop against Mane in the 60th minute and another

01:09against Laporte late in the game.

01:11His efforts ensured that Al Raid walked away with a point, frustrating Al Nasser's efforts

01:16to secure their first win of the season.

01:18Al Nasser did have a chance to regain the lead when Ronaldo found the back of the net

01:22again in the 75th minute after a precise pass from Marcelo Brozovic.

01:27However, the goal was ruled out for offside after a review, further compounding Al Nasser's

01:32frustrations.

01:34Despite their best efforts, they couldn't break down Al Raid's resilient defence.

01:39This disappointing result adds to the pressure on Luis Castro's men, who were looking to

01:43bounce back after their 4-1 loss to Al-Hilal in the Doria Super Cup final last week.

01:48Al Nasser, last season's league runners-up, are now facing growing scrutiny as they seek

01:52to regain their winning form.

01:54Al Raid, under new coach Odair Hellman, were able to build on their previous success against

01:59Al Nasser, having defeated them 3-1 at home last season.

02:03As the new season unfolds, Al Nasser will need to quickly overcome these setbacks and

02:08rediscover their form if they hope to challenge for the title once again.

02:12The league resumed after its last match on May 27, when Al-Hilal secured the championship

02:17in the final round of the previous season.

02:20Al Nasser, last season's runner-up and a three-time league champion, started the new

02:23campaign on uncertain footing after a heavy 4-1 loss to rivals Al-Hilal in the Doria Super

02:28Cup final.

02:30This was followed by the resignation of club president Ebrahim Almohadeb on Tuesday, just

02:35two months after his election.

02:37Coach Luis Castro continues to lead Al Nasser, with the squad seeing few changes except for

02:42the addition of Brazilian goalkeeper Bento Matheus and left-back Salem Al-Nadi from

02:46Al-Fateh.

02:47Conversely, Al Raid has appointed Brazilian coach Odair Hellman, previously with Al-Riyad,

02:52and signed Salah Al-Amri and Zakaria Hossawi from Al-Ittihad.

02:55Notably, Al Raid, along with their neighbours El-Toan, were the only teams to defeat Al

03:01Nasser at home last season, with Al Raid winning 3-1 and El-Toan securing a 2-0 victory.
