Ronaldo posted a picture of the women’s team lifting the inaugural Saudi Women’s Premier League. However, one fan was not convinced that this was Ronaldo’s original appreciation. They commented, “I think Ronaldo’s Instagram page is part of the contract”.

At one point Al-Ittihad took the lead against Al-Hilal, however, Al-Nassr fans were sweating as in the last stages of the game, Al-Yamamah led 2-1. Al-Nassr eventually showed a true champion’s spirit. They turned it around to win 3-2. Meanwhile, Al-Hilal played out a 4-4 draw.
