Al Nassr

Follow Sportsmail's live blog for the Saudi Pro League clash between Al-Ittihad and Al-Nassr in Cristiano Ronaldo's biggest game for the club to date.

The ball is played back to him and he gets a shot off that's well-saved, but Ronaldo was offside. The defender was off balance, though, and his effort is easily collected by the goalkeeper. Ghareeb should get a cross in, but takes too long and wins a corner instead. He decides to try his luck, but his shot goes some way over the bar. It comes to Luis Gustavo who is given a bit of space. He runs into the box to get on the end of a cross, but the delivery is poor and the ball is easily cleared away. The hosts get in down the right flank and the ball is cut back to Hamed. Al-Nassr win the ball back and try to find Ronaldo but the pass is overhit and doesn't give the striker a chance. Al-Nassr takes the corner short, and fail to get the ball into the box. The ball is played up to the edge of the box and Ronaldo knocks the ball down for Ghareeb. Konan gets to the byline and cuts the ball back to the edge of the box. They give the ball away cheaply again here, as the ball is overhit and goes through to the Al-Ittihad goalkeeper.

Cristiano Ronaldo's first placed Al Nassr will face second placed Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League this evening and we're expecting fireworks.

Having had a fantastic World Cup campaign, Al Ittihad's hitman will be looking to show once again, that he can play with the best of them. An Al Ittihad shot is charged down just in the nick of time and Al Nassr break with the ball, but their efforts or thwarted by a desperate tack from the left back. The Portuguese superstar will once again take to the field this evening, as he attempts to continue his dominant form in the league which he has only recently joined, the Saudi Pro League. With an incredibly intense atmosphere in the stadium - flares and all - one gets the sense this game is going to be anything but boring. The game is definitely beginning to open up now, but Al Ittihad appears to just be the more composed of the two sides. The teams are on the field and the atmosphere is absolutely intense. Be sure to stay with us throughout the action! Sensational play out of midfield from Konan, who played a dinked ball to Cristiano in the box. Romarihno was the man in the middle and he obliged with a decent header, but Grohe was aware of the danger. The score remains 0-0, but with the kind of intensity and flair that we've seen, it won't be so for long. With Habdallah up front and Romarihno proving a handful just behind him, the boys in yellow and black have been causing problems for their more prestigious rivals. Cristiano Ronaldo with his first taste of action in the 2nd half.
