Al-Nassr missed a critical opportunity to secure the Saudi Pro League title on May 12, 2026, following a dramatic late own goal in a derby match against Al-Hilal. The match ended in a 1-1 draw, delaying the crowning of the league champion and leaving the title race open.
Al-Nassr held a 1-0 lead heading into the final moments of the game. The team was seconds away from ensuring first place in the league when a chaotic sequence occurred in the 98th minute.
During a desperate long throw-in from Al-Hilal toward the Al-Nassr goal, Brazilian goalkeeper Bento moved to collect the ball. In the process of the routine intervention, Bento collided with teammate Inigo Martinez, inadvertently knocking the ball into his own net.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who was watching the conclusion of the match from the substitutes’ bench, was captured on camera appearing shocked and unable to believe the turn of events as the lead vanished.
League Standings and Title Implications
Despite the draw, Al-Nassr remains at the top of the 18-team league. The club currently maintains a five-point lead over Al-Hilal.
The standings are complicated by the number of fixtures played. Al-Nassr has completed 33 matches, while Al-Hilal has played 32, meaning the rivals still have a game in hand.
The result means Ronaldo must continue to wait for his first league title in Saudi Arabia. Since joining Al-Nassr after leaving Manchester United in 2022, the Portuguese forward has recorded 127 goals in 146 appearances.
Violence in the VIP Section
The tension of the match spilled over into the stands following the equalizer. Frustrated Al-Nassr supporters stormed into the VIP section reserved for Al-Hilal representatives.
Reports and footage indicated that the attacking fans began striking the guests with sticks. The representatives from Al-Hilal attempted to fight back, but they were eventually forced to retreat due to the numerical superiority of the Al-Nassr fans.
The incident transformed the conclusion of the sporting event into a confrontation that resembled a street fight, overshadowing the on-field result.
