Ronaldo’s Title Wait Continues: Late Own Goal Denies Al Nassr Saudi League Glory

Cristiano Ronaldo reacting after Al Nassr's 1-1 draw with Al Hilal in the Saudi Pro League



Cristiano Ronaldo’s quest for his first domestic title in Saudi Arabia was dramatically put on hold Tuesday night following a 1-1 draw between Al Nassr and second-placed Al Hilal. 

Al Nassr appeared to have the championship secured until the eighth minute of extra time when goalkeeper Bento accidentally fumbled a long throw-in into his own net.

The own goal silenced the home fans who were seconds away from celebrating a historic title win. 

Despite the draw, Al Nassr remains five points ahead of Al Hilal, though the latter still holds a game in hand.

Ronaldo, now 41, has significantly elevated the profile of Saudi football since his 2023 move but is still chasing his first major trophy in the Gulf state.

According to Qubes Magazine, Al Nassr can still seal the Saudi Pro League title in their next fixture against Damac. 

With only one game left in their season, the pressure is on the Portuguese superstar to lead his team to a victory that would finally cement his legacy in the Middle East.
