A match in the Saudi Arabian League was played on Friday (6) evening. In the marquee match, Ainas recruit Cron of Ainas was not officially registered and could not be present at the game, but his figure appeared in the box and watched the whole match. His team won the controversial match 2-0 against Altai with two goals from striker Talisker, and Cron's presence in the box made the otherwise unremarkable Saudi Arabia League an instant global sensation.
During the game, Cron enjoyed the excitement of the game while watching it live on his exercise bike. After the game, he also went to the stadium himself and entered the box to continue watching the game. Although Cron was unable to take the field, he was in a happy mood and waved to the fans and media from time to time. Talisca had a great game, scoring a goal each in the first and second half, and Cron should be satisfied with his performance.
According to foreign media reports, the Ainas have exhausted their eight foreign aid slots and must give up one in order to register Cron as an official player. In addition, the 37-year-old shot-stopper was handed a two-match suspension by the FA last season for smashing a young fan's cell phone. According to FIFA rules, this penalty needs to be enforced even if he travels to the Saudi League. However, Aynas have said that Cron does not need to be suspended and there is no word yet on when he will be able to play for the team in the league.
