Ron left waiting for 1st title after late own-goal

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo will have to wait a bit longer for his first Saudi Pro League title after Al Nassr conceded a bizarre own goal in the final seconds on Tuesday.

Second-placed Al Hilal grabbed a 1-1 draw in Riyadh when home goalkeeper Bento fumbled a long throw-in into his own net in the eighth minute of added time to leave Ronaldo and the Al Nassr fans stunned. "The dream is close," the 41-year-old wrote on X to his 107.5 million followers, his side having been seconds from glory.

"Heads up, we have one more step to take!" he added. Al Nassr can seal the title when they play Damac next week.
