Al Nassr is going through a prolific period, having 4 consecutive victories in the championship of Saudi Arabia, of which the last 3 were against the Romanians. Cristiano Ronaldo's team beat Al Taee 5-1, the team coached by Laurentiu Reghecampf, then filled Tătărușanu's goal, 8-0 against Abha, and now won on Damac's pitch, the team coached by Cosmin Contra and at which Nicușor Stanciu evolves.

Al Nassr won 1-0 against Damac yesterday, thanks to a goal scored in extra time by Aymeric Laporte. Stanciu was at home, but the captain of the Romanian national team had only one important opportunity, in the first half, when he sent a header into the center of the goal. SofaScore rated the performance of the “tricolor” with 6.7. Al Nassr has rested its stars for Monday's Saudi Arabian Super Cup clash with Al Hilal. Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Marcelo Brozovic started the game on the bench, but were introduced during the second half.
Nicușor Stanciu and Cosmin Contra were the last “victims” of Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo's team demolishing in the previous stages Al Taee, the team coached by Laurentiu Reghecampf and in which Andrei Cordea was the starter, then Abha with 8-0, in both games the Portuguese managed a hattrick.
Even so, Al Nassr is far from the 1st place in the championship. Al Hilal have a perfect record, with 25 wins and two draws in 27 games, so they sit comfortably at the top of the table, 12 points clear of Ronaldo and Mane's side.
