Al-Nassr Vs Al-Taawon Live Score, Saudi Pro League: Al Dossary Own Goal Breaks Deadlock

It’s been a tight contest, but Al-Nassr head into the break with the advantage after an own goal from Mohammed Al Dossary. The hosts have controlled large spells but haven’t had it all their way, with Al-Taawoun staying organised and competitive. Still plenty to play for in the second half.

Al-Nassr take the lead. Mohammed Al Dossary turns the ball into his own net under pressure, handing the hosts a breakthrough just before the break. A cruel moment for Al-Taawoun after holding firm, and Al-Nassr suddenly have the edge at Al-Awwal Park as halftime approaches.

The tempo drops as the game gets scrappy late in the first half. João Félix is pulled up for an attacking foul on Muteb Al Mufarrij, halting another Al-Nassr move just as they looked to build pressure. Al-Nassr continue to see plenty of the ball and control possession, but they’re struggling to find that final pass or clean finish in the Al-Taawoun box, with the visitors holding firm defensively.

So close for Al-Nassr! Cristiano Ronaldo does brilliantly to control the ball and drive into the box before unleashing a right-footed shot, but Maílson is equal to it with a sharp save. A big moment as the keeper denies the Portuguese star, who’ll feel he should’ve buried that, still goalless.

Booking for Al-Nassr. Saad Al Nasser goes in late on Mohammed Mahzari and catches him with a heavy challenge. The referee has no hesitation in pulling out a yellow card, a clear warning early in the game. Al Nasser will now have to be careful for the rest of the match to avoid a second booking.

Al Taawoun go with a balanced XI, with Mailson in goal and a steady back line in front of him. Victor Hugo and Ashraf Al-Badawi anchor midfield, while Angelo Fulgini adds creativity. Roger Martinez leads the attack as their main goal threat.
