Al Nassr FC saw their Saudi Pro League title hopes suffer another setback after conceding a late equaliser in a dramatic clash against Al Hilal SFC on Tuesday night.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s side appeared on course for a crucial victory before Al Hilal struck late to force a draw and keep the title race alive. The result means Al Nassr failed to extend their lead at the top, with the battle for the Saudi league crown still wide open.
The Riyadh derby delivered late drama as both sides fought intensely for dominance. Al Nassr had looked set to claim all three points, but Al Hilal’s stoppage-time equaliser silenced the home fans and denied Ronaldo’s team a massive win.
The draw is a major blow to Al Nassr’s ambitions of securing the league title, while Al Hilal remain firmly in contention as the season approaches its final stages.
