The Saudi Pro League match between Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal ended in a surprising result. In the 98th minute, a costly error by Al-Nassr goalkeeper Bento Matheus denied his team the victory, resulting in a 1-1 draw. This result forces Cristiano Ronaldo and his team to delay their title celebrations. This is reported by Goal.com reports .
In the 37th minute, defender Mohamed Simakan headed the ball into the net following a corner kick to put his team ahead. Despite Al-Nassr dominating the match, missed opportunities by players like Kingsley Coman proved costly. A goal scored by Karim Benzema was disallowed for offside after a VAR review.
In the final seconds of the game, a powerful long throw-in by an Al-Hilal player caused chaos in the penalty area. A misunderstanding between goalkeeper Bento and defender Inigo Martínez led to the ball ending up in the back of the net. Although Cristiano Ronaldo was substituted in the 83rd minute, he came close to scoring against Yassine Bounou during the match.
Although Al-Nassr currently leads the league table, they must wait for the match against Damac FC to settle the title race. The team faces two AFC Champions League finals and decisive league matches ahead. For Ronaldo, team trophies remain more important than personal records.
