The Tigers prove too much for Cristiano & Co. It was a hot night at the King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, but the heat on the pitch was probably even higher. With important points in the title race between the two giants at stake, the match started out with a frantic pace. Yet it's got to be said, that it was 2nd placed Al Ittihad who found their footing sooner than their opponents. Indeed, from quite early on Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, could be seen remonstrating with his teammates, as he encouraged them to calm down when in possession.
