Al-Nassr & Al-Fahya
Fashion Sakala's Al-Fahya suffered a 3-1 defeat to Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr in a Saudi Pro League encounter on matchday 11 on Saturday afternoon. It was Al-Fahya's third defeat of the season in the league, and Sakala, who played the full match against his childhood idol Ronaldo, was unable to contribute to any goals. Ronaldo assisted the opener for Anderson Talisca in the 50th minute after a goalless first half. The defeat was the second in a row in all competitions for Al-Fahya, who lost 4-1 in the AFC Champions League to Al-Ain on Tuesday. Sakala has scored five goals and provided one assist in 11 league matches so far, and he will be hoping for better results with his side when they face Al-Ittihad in the King's Cup round of 16 at home on October 31. The defeat leaves Al-Fahya stuck in eighth position on the table with 11 points, while Ronaldo's Al-Nassr moves into second position from fourth with 25 points.
