Al-Nassr and Al-Shabab played a dramatic 2-2 draw in Riyadh, with both teams watching an eventful collision, the gates, a red card and a Var drama.
The visitors met in the 44th minute when Abderrazzaq Hamdallah converted a penalty and brought Al-Shabab in the lead. The punishment was awarded after Daniel Padence had been brought into the box by Nawaf al-Boushail.
However, Al-Nassr reacted almost immediately. Shortly before half -time, Ayman Yahya found the back of the network with a well -placed shot to the left after a verse that scored the score 1: 1.
The dynamics of the home team continued in time when Cristiano Ronaldo brought a moment of magic and brought out of a difficult angle in order to be able to push Al-Nassr 2-1.
The goal was initially checked by VAR, but was ultimately awarded what al-Nassr brought the advantage into the break.
The second half started with Al-Shabab, which endeavored to find a balance. Al-Nassr had trouble in the 52nd minute when Mohammed Al Fatil showed a straight red card for a ruthless challenge and the hosts left ten men.

The numerical disadvantage finally demanded its toll, and in the 67th minute Mohammed Al Shhichroh used Cristian Guanca from a well -delivered cross to go home to do it with 2-2.
The last phases of the game were filled with end-to-end campaigns because both teams were looking for a deceased winner.
Al-Shabab pressed forward and led decisive parades of Al-Nassr’s goalkeeper Bento, while Marcelo Brozovic and Jhon Duran had the opportunity to restore the lead for the home team.
The tensions were high in the final minutes, with several yellow cards being exhibited, including one for Wesley Hoedt from Al-Shabab and Jhon Duran from Al-Nassr.
After eight minutes of interruption, the referee brought an electrifying encounter in Saudi Arabia.
While Al-Nassr may be frustrated after submitting a guided tour, a tie reflected a fair result.
