As night falls and the sands are lit, the movie Long misses a 12-yard field goal.
Wednesday (30th) dawned with a sudden change in the Saudi Arabia Round of 16 battle, with Crown conceding a penalty in extra time and Ainas losing 0-1 at home to Al Ta'ayawin in a cold 7x away win. Ainas unexpectedly fell, plus six points behind Hilal in the league, Cron's two-year career in Saudi Arabia, the road to the championship is still long.
Cron has scored 9 goals from his previous 11 shots but has been in a slump recently. In the last round of the elite AFC Champions League, he swallowed the white fruit. Even after a break in the league, his performance remains frustrating. In four games, he has only hit the target once and lost possession 13 times.
Ainas conceded in the 71st minute and had a 12-yard chance in stoppage time. cron was expected to be the savior once again, but took the penalty high and the provincial fans were in an uproar. Since the 39-year-old Portuguese superstar joined Ainas, his first 18 penalty kicks have all been successful. This time, he missed unexpectedly. Coupled with the team's losing streak, Ainas fans were disappointed and booed.
Ainas started the season with a runner-up finish in the Saudi Premier League and a Round of 16 exit in King Saud, and Crown has missed two chances to win the title this season, with none of the official matches winning the title in two years. Ainas is expected to compete for the elite of the league and AFC Champions League this season, but the competition between the two competitions is getting more and more intense, and the prospect of winning the title is not optimistic. Ainas will host Hilal in their next league match, and a win will be crucial to keep their hopes of competing alive.
