Cristiano Ronaldo’s Quest for Saudi Pro League Trophy Delayed After Shocking Draw
Cristiano Ronaldo will have to wait a little longer before lifting his first Saudi Pro League championship trophy with Al-Nassr. Since joining the team in 2023, the Portuguese superstar has chased the elusive trophy.
The Riyadh-based club entered the field on Tuesday to try to beat its closest pursuers, Al-Hilal, at home. Everything seemed in place for Al-Nassr to secure the win.
With a 1-0 lead and just 10 seconds left in the second half, the visitors were awarded a throw-in. What appeared to be an easy play turned into a nightmare for the home team. Goalkeeper Bento attempted to handle the ball, but it slipped between his hands and into his own goal.
