In Riyadh, Ronaldo, who was a starter, along with his compatriot Otávio, scored in the 34th minute, giving the home team the lead. However, Moroccan Fouzair equalized with a penalty in the 49th minute.
The national team captain even celebrated a ‘brace’, in a play that was ruled out by VAR, keeping the score unchanged until the end, marking another ‘stumble’ for Luís Castro, this time against a team that finished 11th last season and was fighting for survival.
Before this match, the sports press reported that the continuity of the Portuguese coach at Al Nassr was ‘shaky’, especially after the heavy defeat (4-1) against Al Hilal, coached by Jorge Jesus, in the Saudi Supercup.
