Cristiano Ronaldo's first placed Al Nassr will face second placed Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League this evening and we're expecting fireworks.
Having had a fantastic World Cup campaign, Al Ittihad's hitman will be looking to show once again, that he can play with the best of them. An Al Ittihad shot is charged down just in the nick of time and Al Nassr break with the ball, but their efforts or thwarted by a desperate tack from the left back. The Portuguese superstar will once again take to the field this evening, as he attempts to continue his dominant form in the league which he has only recently joined, the Saudi Pro League. With an incredibly intense atmosphere in the stadium - flares and all - one gets the sense this game is going to be anything but boring. The game is definitely beginning to open up now, but Al Ittihad appears to just be the more composed of the two sides. The teams are on the field and the atmosphere is absolutely intense. Be sure to stay with us throughout the action! Sensational play out of midfield from Konan, who played a dinked ball to Cristiano in the box. Romarihno was the man in the middle and he obliged with a decent header, but Grohe was aware of the danger. The score remains 0-0, but with the kind of intensity and flair that we've seen, it won't be so for long. With Habdallah up front and Romarihno proving a handful just behind him, the boys in yellow and black have been causing problems for their more prestigious rivals.
