Cristiano Ronaldo endured another frustrating evening on Tuesday as his Al-Nassr side were beaten 2-0 by Al-Hilal. The Portuguese star was outshone by a far less successful former Manchester United man as well, with Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo netting twice for the victors while Ronaldo could only manage only a yellow card and a disallowed goal.
Al-Nassr travelled to the King Fahd International Stadium looking to go top of the Saudi Pro League, which they could have done with a win.
Unfortunately, Al-Hilal had other ideas, producing a fine performance in front of their own fans.

Ighalo calmly tucked the spot-kick home after sending Nawaf Alaqidi the wrong way. The second half followed much of the same pattern, with one former Red frustrated while the other thrived.
