Cristiano Ronaldo bites the dust against Benzema – Saudi Pro League – J13 – Al-Ittihad-Al-Nassr (2-1)

The power of coal.

THE reunion between Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo smiled at the Frenchman on Friday (2-1). Left alone at the far post, the Nueve quietly opened the score from the flat of the left foot in the shock of the Saudi Pro League (55^e). The Portuguese replied immediately of an uncontrolled strike on a caviar from Angelo, who was still playing in Strasbourg a few months ago (57^e). Son tenth goal in twelve league matches. Steven Bergwijn, however, nailed the visitors' beak in added time to offer victory to Al-Ittihad in a stadium as hot as embers (90^e+1).

Al-Ittihad thus ensures that it ends the year at the top of the championship Saudi since its runner-up, Al-Hilal, is temporarily relegated to five points. On the Al-Nassr side, it's all grimacing: the CR7 band is only fourtheleven units behind the leader. And Ronaldo will have time to ruminate since his team will not play again until January 9.

The atmosphere will be nice at Christmas!
