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-Nasser to secure the win.

With a 1-0 lead with 10 seconds left in the second half, the visitors were awarded a throw-in. What seemed like an easy play resulted in a total nightmare for the home team. Goalkeeper Bento went for the ball, but it slipped between his hands and went into his goal.
