Al-Nassr’s hopes of securing the Saudi Pro League title on Tuesday were dashed in the final seconds when goalkeeper Bento, of the Brazilian national team, made a costly error that handed Al-Hilal a 1-1 draw. The match, played at Awwal Park in Riyadh, saw Cristiano Ronaldo’s side leading until the dying moments, a result that would have clinched the championship. However, in Al-Hilal’s last attack, a long throw-in from Ali Lajami caused chaos in the box. Bento attempted to punch the ball clear but collided with defender Iñigo Martínez, inadvertently palming it into his own net. The dramatic equalizer left Ronaldo visibly devastated, as a win would have given him his first trophy with the Saudi club. Despite the setback, Al-Nassr still controls its destiny, needing only a draw in the final matchday to secure the title. Cameras captured the Portuguese star’s despair as he processed the last-minute heartbreak. The result means the title race will go down to the wire, with Al-Nassr now requiring a single point from their last game to be crowned champions.
