Al-Nassr made a brilliant start to tonight's Saudi Professional League game against Al-Hilal as they are leading at halftime. However, here are the three Al-Nassr players that inspired them to take the lead before the break:
1. Otavio
The attacking midfielder showed his quality in the first half as he scored the opening goal with a brilliant strike a few seconds from kick-off. He also gave several key passes and won some tackles. The manager will be expecting more from him in the second half.
2. Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portugal forward had an impressive performance in the first half as he set up Otavio for the opening goal. He should have also scored in the first half as he missed two chances. He is expected to come back stronger in the second half.
3. Alex Telles
He was involved in the build-up to the opening goal and was effective in the attack. He made sure he provided cover for the defence as he won several tackles, and interceptions and made some clearances. More is expected from him in the second half.
