The formation coached by George Timis is a draw with Ronaldo and Sadio Mane

In the first match on the technical bench of the Saudis from Abha, Gheorghe Timis managed to confuse Al-Nassr right on his field.

With Ciprian Tetarushanu as Abha’s captain, the hosts opened the scoring through Otavio in the 3rd minute and added to it through Talisca in the 28th minute.

However, Bguir’s goal in the 36th minute after the break made it 2–1. In the second half, Al Nasr had a goal disallowed for offside, and Abha struck the final blow in the second minute of added time through Toko Ekambi.

Even if they missed out on a win that could have lifted them into second place, two points behind leaders Al Taawon, Cristiano Ronaldo’s side remain on the podium with 19 points.

With the first point after four consecutive defeats, Abha leaves the relegation places and climbs to 15th place with seven points.
