Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo led his team Al-Nassr to a vital and decisive victory against their guests Al-Shabab, with a score of three goals to two. Ronaldo surprised his teammates by prostrating on the field, which prompted them to applaud and express their joy.
Saudi Twitter users noted that Ronaldo's action does not mean he has converted to Islam, but he imitated what his teammates do when they score goals. Meanwhile, league leaders Al-Ittihad secured a valuable win against bottom-placed Al-Batin, with Brazilian Romarinho scoring the only goal, maintaining a three-point lead over Al-Nassr.
Al-Ittihad has two matches remaining to clinch the title, facing Al-Faiha away and hosting Al-Tai in their final match at the “Jewel” stadium, hoping to lift the trophy on home ground in front of their fans. Meanwhile, Ronaldo, aiming to achieve the last remaining title this season with Al-Nassr, seeks to lead his team to victory against Al-Ettifaq and Al-Fateh, hoping for Al-Ittihad to stumble.
