Simone Inzaghi and a duck spoil Cristiano Ronaldo’s party

Cristiano Ronaldo has to postpone the celebration of his first title in Saudi Arabia: his Al-Nassr team drew 1-1 in the Riyadh derby against Simone Inzaghi’s Al-Hilal, second in the standings, after a sensational endgame that left CR7 bitter.

After this draw, Al-Nassr has a five-point lead over Al-Hilal, which, however, has a game to make up. Everything is therefore still on the line, although CR7 and his teammates will only need to win on the last day against Damac, which is fourth-last in the standings, to finally celebrate winning the Saudi League.

The match was very close: Simone Inzaghi’s team had a goal by Benzema cancelled due to irregular play, and in the end of the first half Simakan on the developments of a corner made Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates rejoice by putting the home team ahead. In the second half, Al-Nassr went close to the knockout blow with former Bayern Coman, who hit the post, but at the expiration the unbelievable happened.

On an innocuous cross from the left, Al-Nassr goalkeeper Bento came out badly, hitting the ball with his fist and sending it into his goal. Despair in the stands and on the bench, where the Portuguese star had just sat, but the title may have been delayed only a few days.
