Al Nassr FC 1-1 Al Hilal Full Highlights Extended | Saudi Pro League | 2026.05.12

Al Nassr seemed to have the Saudi Pro League title within their grasp after Simakan's opening goal, but a 98th-minute mistake by goalkeeper Bento caused Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates to lose a bitter victory against Al Hilal.

Ronaldo was substituted in the 82nd minute to thunderous cheers from the stands. At that point, everything seemed settled. But tragedy struck in the 98th minute.

From a desperate long throw-in by Al Hilal, Bento rushed out to challenge Inigo Martinez. The Brazilian goalkeeper mishandled the ball, letting it bounce off his hands and fly straight into the net, leaving the entire stadium stunned. The score was leveled at 1-1 in the final moments of the match. Ronaldo could only hold his head in his hands on the bench. After the final whistle, he silently walked into the tunnel with an expression of disbelief at what had just happened.

Despite this, Al Nassr still holds a significant advantage in the title race. The gap with Al Hilal is currently 5 points, but their rivals have a game in hand. If Al Nassr wins against Damac in the final round, they will officially be crowned champions. Alternatively, if Al Hilal drops points in either of their remaining two matches against Neom and Al Feiha, Al Nassr will also be crowned champions.

For Ronaldo, his 34th career title is still very close, but after this crazy night in Riyadh, he understands that it's not over yet.
