Al Nassr Complete Unbelievable 3-2 Comeback with 10 Men After Ronaldo and Goalkeeper Forced Off Al Nassr delivered one of the most dramatic comebacks in the Saudi Roshn League as they overturned a two-goal deficit to defeat Al Ettifaq 3-2 in a match marked by chaos, resilience, and tactical brilliance. The visitors faced an uphill battle from the outset, losing their starting goalkeeper to a straight red card within 12 minutes and enduring a 2-0 deficit at halftime. Despite being a man down and struggling with a makeshift goalkeeper, Al Nassr’s determination led to a stunning turnaround, with Sadio Mané scoring twice and João Félix playing a pivotal role in the resurgence. The match began with Al Nassr showing promise, but their fortunes took a sharp turn in the 12th minute. Goalkeeper Bento rushed out to challenge Moussa Dembélé, bringing the Al Ettifaq forward down outside the penalty area. The referee’s decision to send Bento off left Al Nassr with 10 men for almost the entire game. In a desperate attempt to stabilize their defense, the club brought on young goalkeeper Abdulrahman Al Otaibi, sacrificing an attacking player to fill the vacant position. This tactical shift immediately exposed vulnerabilities, as Al Ettifaq capitalized on their numerical advantage. Al Ettifaq struck first in the 31st minute when Ondrej Duda collected the ball near the edge of the area and fired a powerful shot into the top corner, putting the hosts 1-0 up. Al Nassr barely managed to survive until the final moments of the half, but their troubles worsened in stoppage time. Álvaro Medrán received a pass from Yasser Al-Shammari and unleashed a thunderous effort from outside the box, beating Al Otaibi to extend the lead to 2-0.#al_ettifaq #al_nassr #joao_felix #sadio_mane #ondrej_duda
