1 Min Read

Nigerian striker, Odion Ighalo was the hero on Tuesday night as Al Hilal defeated Al Nassr.

Ighalo converted two spot kicks to inflict another defeat on the Cristiano Ronaldo-captained side

Ronaldo was booked in the 5th minute after hauling Gustavo Cuellar to the ground in a headlock as the match official brandished a yellow card on the Portuguese.

The result is a dent on Al Nassr’s title ambition as they slip three points further behind leaders Al-Ittihad, who have a game in hand.

Al-Nassr next face back Al-Wehda in the semi-finals of the King Cup of Champions.

Meanwhile, Al Hilal remain fourth on the Saudi Pro League table with 45 points.
