Late Al-Hilal equalizer delays Al-Nassr’s bid for Saudi Pro League glory

RIYADH: Al-Nassr were mere seconds from securing the Saudi Pro League title for the first time since 2019 when their moment of glory was snatched away in dramatic fashion.

With his team protecting a 1-0 lead in a tense and chaotic Capital Derby, and the home crowd at Al-Awwal Park poised to erupt into celebration, goalkeeper Bento failed to claim a long Al-Hilal throw into the area in the ninth minute of stoppage time and fumbled the ball into his own net, thereby ensuring any celebrations would have to be delayed until the final day of the season.
