**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia** – Al-Nassr, featuring Cristiano Ronaldo, suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Al-Orobah in the Saudi Pro League on Friday. The loss sparked a wave of online criticism directed at Al-Nassr midfielder Marcelo Brozović, whose performance was deemed underwhelming by many fans.

Al-Orobah took the lead in the 40th minute through Omar Al Somah, capitalizing on a swift counter-attack. Al-Nassr equalized just after halftime thanks to Nawaf Bu Washl, assisted by Ângelo. However, Brozović received a yellow card shortly after for a foul. Despite playing the full 90 minutes, Brozović’s contribution was limited, registering only two key passes and one shot on target. He also lost possession 15 times. Al-Orobah secured the victory with a goal from Jóhann Gudmundsson in the 65th minute, assisted by Al Somah.

Al Somah, who praised Ronaldo after the match, has been a standout performer for Al-Orobah this season, contributing six goals and two assists in 12 appearances. In contrast, Brozović’s season statistics stand at one goal and five assists in 28 appearances. Cristiano Ronaldo himself continues to be prolific, having scored 25 goals and provided four assists in 30 matches for Al-Nassr this season. The defeat leaves Al-Nassr facing questions about their form and the effectiveness of some key players, with Brozović facing the brunt of fan disappointment.
