Report, result and objectives like Mane and Ronaldo see champions off

Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo were on the target while Al-Nassr took an early blow in the Saudi title race of the Saudi Pro League with a 2-0 victory deserved in Al-Ittihad.

The reigning champions al-Ittihad beat al-Nassr at home and outside last season and took over Al-Nassr in the Saudi final Super Cup.

Karim Benzema returned to the Al-Ittihad team after missing three games due to an injury, but he could not inspire the hosts at the victory in Jeddah.

Instead, the former Real Madrid teammate Ronaldo was left to celebrate after following the superb opening option of Mane's ninth minute with a 35th minute head to send the Al-Nassr table.

Al-Ittihad against al-Nassr

In the middle of a noisy atmosphere, the game started in a frantic way, the two parties not bringing the promising openings.

But Mane took her first clear chance spectacularly, now her composure in Lash Home, a superb volley from the right-wing cross of Kingsley Coman.

Al-Nassr continued in the ascendant after the opener, Ronaldo was wasting a golden chance when he headed for short distance before freeing himself from the left, only to shoot the lateral net.

Paulo Bento was tested by Steven Bergwijn after an al-Ittihad break, but visitors continued to create the best opportunities, Joao Felix from the range at the range of the range of Pascal Simikan.

But Ronaldo was not mistaken when Mine raised a cross on the left perfectly weighted in the box, the Talisman of Portugal is not mistaken with a powerful head beyond a helpless Rajkovic predrag.

Mane was almost the supplier for a third party, but Felix was again the supplier of a blatant failure after more good work of his Senegalese teammate.

Things got worse for Al-Ittihad in the first half, midfielder Houssem Aouar was forced by an injury.

Ronaldo was refused by Rajkovic shortly after restarting the second half while Al-Nassr sought to put the game in bed, Coman then flamboyant to the distant post before Ronaldo inexplicably missed the target with an open goal to his mercy.

However, Al-Ittihad had a hard time punishing this debauchery, Benzema cutting a peripheral figure until he was brilliantly thwarted by Bento after superb work on the tour of the former striker of France.

And there must have been no way to pass for the hosts, who have comfortably seen a victory that could have and probably had to be more emphatic.
