ABHA, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo is still waiting for his first domestic trophy in Saudi Arabia after Al-Nassr lost 4-1 to Al-Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup on Saturday. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner scored the first goal just before halftime in the season-opening match between Saudi Pro League champions Al-Hilal and runners-up Al-Nassr. The 39-year-old striker, however, looked frustrated after Al-Hilal scored four times in 17 minutes in the second half, with former Newcastle and Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrović scoring twice. Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr in December 2022 and set a league record with 35 goals last season, scored from close range in the 44th minute after a pass from Abdulrahman Ghareeb. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic made it 1-1 in the 55th minute, scoring from just inside the box. Mitrović then scored twice in six minutes. Brazilian winger Malcom scored Al-Hilal’s fourth goal, giving the league champions their second consecutive Super Cup victory. “We showed how good we are in the second half,” Mitrović said. “We had some problems in the first half and then we changed in the second half. We stayed calm and it feels good to win a trophy at the start of the season.” Al-Hilal, still awaiting the return of Neymar from a knee ligament injury that has kept the Brazilian out of action since last October, begins its title defense next Saturday against Al-Okhdood. Al-Nassr faces Al-Raed two days earlier. ___ AP Soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer Copyright 2024 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
