The battle for the title of champion of the Saudi "Roshan" Professional Football League has intensified, after Al-Nasr club was defeated by its host Al-Qadisiyah (1-3) in the match that brought them together on Sunday evening, as part of the 31st round of the league.
Al-Nasr's tally remains at 79 points, placing them at the top of the league standings, five points ahead of their closest rivals Al-Hilal, who have a game in hand, before their direct encounter next Tuesday, which could determine the champion of the current league season.
Signs of sadness and regret were evident on the face of Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of the "global" team, after the final whistle and as he left the green rectangle.
The veteran Portuguese star (41 years old) posted a picture of himself and another of the "global" team on his "X" platform account, commenting: "One mission, we keep working. Together!"
It is worth noting that Cristiano Ronaldo is still fighting for the league's top scorer title as well, as he occupies third place with 25 goals scored during 27 matches in the "Roshen" league this season, in addition to 3 assists, and he is 4 goals away from the leader, Colombian Julian Quiñones, the Al-Qadisiyah striker.
