Cristiano Ronaldo still faces uncertainty in securing his first Saudi league title after Al Nassr conceded a late equalizer by Al Hilal during stoppage time.
In the 2025-26 Saudi Pro League match on Tuesday, 12 May 2026 GMT+7, Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo's team and league leaders, hosted second-place Al Hilal. A win for Al Nassr would have sealed the championship immediately.
In the first half, at the 37th minute, Al Nassr took the lead with a goal from Mohamed Simakan, and the half ended with that score.
In the second half, the game seemed headed for an Al Nassr victory, but in the 90+8 minute of stoppage time, Al Hilal astonishingly equalized 1-1. From a throw-in on the right side into the penalty area, Al Nassr goalkeeper Bento mis-punched the ball, which slipped from his hands and went into his own goal.
The match ended in a 1-1 draw. Al Nassr increased their tally to 83 points, leading Al Hilal by 5 points. Al Nassr has one game remaining, while Al Hilal has two. If Al Nassr wins their final match against Damac, they will secure the championship regardless of Al Hilal's results. Alternatively, if Al Hilal fails to beat NEOM on 16 May 2026 GMT+7, Al Nassr will claim the title even before their last game.
