Al-Nassr fans have expressed their frustration with Cristiano Ronaldo's teammate and goalkeeper Bento after the side suffered a damaging blow to their title hopes. The Knights of Najd fell to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Al-Qadsiah, with the result leaving them eight points off the top of the standings.Cristiano Ronaldo led the line for Al-Nassr as they sought to take advantage of a slip-up from league leaders Al-Ittihad in this week's action. Brazilian goalkeeper Bento started in goal, continuing his run of having started every league game for Al-Nassr since his arrival last summer.Bento directly contributed to his side's defeat against Al-Qadsiah, as he committed an error leading to goal in the first half. He was also implicated in the late winner scored by Al-Qadsiah as a lapse in judgement from his end was punished emphatically.Al-Nassr fans were far from pleased with the performance of the 25-year-old for Cristiano Ronaldo's team, and they took to X to make their feelings known. A fan bluntly pointed out that his performance in the game was atrocious."I’m sorry Bento…but that was atrocious", they posted.Another fan claimed that he had been horrible."Bento has been horrible 💔", they wrote.A fan pointed out that the goalkeeper had a poor game."Bento has had a terrible game", they wrote.Another fan questioned the wisdom behind the club signing him."Bento is just ass idk why al nassr signed him", they remarked.A fan questioned how a player of his quality earned an invitation to the Brazilian national team."Bento is the biggest bum for al nassr. How did he get called up to brazil😭😭", they asked.Another fan claimed that the goalkeeper is not serious."This Bento isn’t a serious keeper", they posted.While Bento's mistakes were costly to Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo and his strike partner failed to find the net in the game. The 40-year-old, alongside strike partner Jhon Duran, failed to register a single attempt on target for their side. Bento made five saves in the game, four of them from inside the box.Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr suffer defeat to Al-Qadsiah as title hopes fade awayCristiano Ronaldo and his Al-Nassr teammates were at the receiving end of a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Al-Qadsiah in their Saudi Pro League clash. The Knights of Najd tasted defeat by the same scoreline in front of their fans in November, and the newly-promoted side completed a league double over them.Al-Qadsiah took the lead after 35 minutes when visiting goalkeeper Bento pushed a shot from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang into the path of Turki Al-Ammar. The winger obliged, tapping the ball into an empty net for his fourth league goal of the season.Al-Nassr equalised in the 84th minute when Otavio set up Sadio Mane to score, before Al-Qadsiah scored a late winner three minutes later. Aubameyang had the easy task of steering a header into the back of the net after Bento came off the line and was beaten to a long ball by Nahitan Nandez.Cristiano Ronaldo's side had 69% of the ball but managed just three attempts on target, generating 1.49 xG. Al-Qadsiah, on the other hand, had seven attempts on target and generated 1.31 xG as they claimed all three points at home.
