Al-Nassr record easy victory against Al Tai
The Saudi League leaders Al-Nassr hosted seventh-placed Al Tai at the Mrsool Park on Friday evening, January 6, 2022.
The hosts dominated proceedings from the start boasting the lion’s share of possession as well as creating the better chances.
However, the opener came later than expected with Anderson Talisca continuing in his bright form this season by firing home for the hosts in the 42nd minute after an assist from Sultan Al-Ghannam.

The hosts went into the break with the advantage and began the second-half with a little more urgency, firing home again just two minutes after the restart with Talisca once more finding the back of the net after a quick goal kick from goalkeeper David Ospina.
Al Tai created chances but could not ask questions of the hosts as they were eventually forced to settle for a loss at full-time with the hosts sitting four points clear ahead of second-placed Al-Shabab who face fourth-placed Al-Ittihad on Monday, January 9, 2022.

Ronaldo missing in Al-Nassr victory against Al Ta’ee
Cristiano Ronaldo is still waiting to make his debut for his new club and did not feature in the victory against Al-Ta’ee.
Earlier this week, the 37-year-old Portuguese was officially unveiled by the Saudi Arabian club Tuesday, January 3, 2023.

But the five-time Ballon d’Or winner is yet to feature for the first time since joining the club despite training with the squad.
