Al Nassr wins in stoppage time and postpones Al Hilal’s Saudi championship win

Al Nassr, led by Luís Castro, today beat Al Akhdoud (3-2), in the 31st round of the Saudi football championship, and postponed the title victory of leader Al Hilal, led by Jorge Jesus.

At Al Akhdoud Club Stadium, in Najran, goals from Croatian Brozovic, after the seventh minute, and Cristiano Ronaldo, at 15, the 33rd in the competition, brought the challenge very close to being resolved.

However, in the second half, the hosts reached equality within 10 minutes, thanks to accurate shots from Al Habib (60) and Nigerian Godwin (70), a former Casa Pia player.

In the final moments, a ball headed by Ronaldo against the post was poorly cleared by the defense and left for Brozovic to score twice, at 90+1.

For Al Hilal to be crowned champion today, Al Nassr could not win, so they will only be able to celebrate the 19th championship in their history on Saturday, when they host the last placed team, Al Hazm, all they need to do is , a tie.

Al Hilal, which has the game of this round to play, leads the competition, with 86 points, nine points more than the pursuer Al Nassr (77), with three rounds remaining until the end of the competition.

Jesus’ team will be able to reinforce its status as the record holder for trophies, with 11 more than the second most titled team, precisely Al Nassr, who has eight.
