Cristiano Ronaldo takes a shot, but his shot just hits the side-netting. One section of the Al Nassr supporters thought that it had gone in, but not on that occasion.

An excellent goal from the Serbian to give the league leaders a lead. And with this, Al Hilal now have a 7-point lead at the top of the Saudi pro league table. Wow, this is a massive goal!! And Al Nassr will have to come back and find an equalizer.
