Al Nassr vs Al-Ettifaq Club

Al Nassr claimed a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Al Ettifaq on Wednesday, with a sharp finish from Kingsley Coman proving the difference. It was a tense affair with no shortage of drama from the first whistle to the last. Coman broke the deadlock around the 30th minute, pouncing on the rebound after goalkeeper Rodak parried a long-range effort from Cristiano Ronaldo. VAR had earlier examined a potential penalty when Ronaldo was brought down in the area, only to rule no infringement. Álvaro Medran was booked late on for Al Ettifaq, and Jack Hendry was sent off deep in stoppage time, leaving the visitors to finish with ten men. The win lifts Al Nassr to 76 points, maintaining their five-point lead over Al Hilal with the title firmly in their sights. Al Ettifaq, still in seventh, continue to slide further from the leading pack.
