In a key match in the 21st round of the Saudi League that ended in the early morning of February 22, Beijing time, Riyadh Victory was reversed 2-3 at home by Dammam Cooperation, ending the league's five-game winning streak, and the hope of winning the championship was slim.

In this game, the 40-year-old Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo played hard, but his contribution was limited. He played the whole game, with six shots on goal and six on target, but he didn't score a single goal.

In the 73rd minute, Ronaldo had the best chance of the game. Ronaldo's accurate diagonal pass at the top of the arc in the middle gave Ronaldo a great opportunity to face the opponent's goalkeeper alone, but Ronaldo was confiscated by the goalkeeper because he stopped the ball and hit the goalkeeper a little wide. I have to say that although Ronaldo is very self-disciplined, it can still be seen from the handling of this ball that his physical function is visibly declining to the naked eye.

At that time, Riyadh Victory was still leading 2-1, and if Ronaldo scored this goal to help the team extend the advantage to 2 goals, there may not be a reversal later.

In the 89th minute of the game, when Wijnaldum scored a double goal, helping Dammam to cooperate to overtake the score. The 40-year-old Ronaldo went on a complete rampage, he kept roaring and complaining to the referee, believing that the opponent's goal was violated, but in the end he could not change the result of the game, and Ronaldo could only accept the cruel ending of the defeat.

After this game was reversed, Riyadh Victory's good momentum of five consecutive wins in the league came to an end. In the case of this round of the first round, Jeddah United, which is already 8 points behind the top of the table, seems to be about to be dashed again.
