Saudi Super Cup: post-Ronaldo slump hits second semi-final, fans mix business with pleasure
Scenes outside Hong Kong Stadium on Wednesday could not have been any more different to just 24 hours earlier, when football megastar Cristiano Ronaldo pulled 30,000 fans from across the world to the venue in Causeway Bay. What a difference a day makes. Walking towards the stadium two hours before Wednesday's 8pm kick-off, you could easily be forgiven for not knowing there was a match going to take place. Al-Qadsiah were playing Al-Ahli Saudi in the second semi-final of the Saudi Super Cup, by the way. Long gone was the sea of Ronaldo shirts and the carnival atmosphere, while the crowd-control barriers looked more like a hangover from the day before, when 10-man Al-Nassr beat Al-Ittihad 2-1. This time little more than 100 fans, mostly from Saudi Arabia, had begun to congregate from around 6.30pm. A smattering of fans watch the Al-Qadsiah v Al-Ahli match at Hong Kong Stadium.

Play Ondash said he hated Muay Thai at first, but his outlook changed once the wins started.
