Ronaldo Near Tears as Al Nassr Misses Chance to Seal Saudi Pro League Title

Cristiano Ronaldo was visibly upset after Al Nassr conceded a 90th-minute own goal and drew 1-1 with rivals Al Hilal. The result denied the Saudi giants a chance to clinch the title with a game to spare. Al Nassr dominated early in Riyadh, taking the lead through Mohamed Simakan’s header after a driving run from Kingsley Coman. The home crowd celebrated what looked like a historic victory for Ronaldo in his first season in the Middle East. But under pressure at the death, goalkeeper Bento diverted the ball into his own net and left Ronaldo remonstrating with officials at full time. He later urged supporters to stay hopeful, saying the dream is still alive with one more match to play.
