DAILY POST
Al-Nassr manager, Rudi Garcia, has highlighted Cristiano Ronalo’s miss from point-blank range as the turning point of Thursday’s Super Cup defeat to Al-Ittihad.
Ronaldo failed to score for the second game as his side lost 3-1, thanks to goals from Romarinho, Hamdallah and Al-Shaqeeti.
The 37-year-old came close, leaping high into the air and diverting a header at goal, only to be denied by Grohe in goal.
Al-Ittihad then immediately made it 2-0 just 28 seconds later.
“One of the things that changed the course of the match was Cristiano’s missed opportunity in the first half.
“I congratulate Al-Ittihad. They presented a much better first half than us, and we played a good second half, but unfortunately, we were not able to adjust the result.
