Last night in the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr faced a nail-biting challenge against Al Shabab. With the score locked at 1-1 and stoppage time ticking away, it seemed Al Nassr might have to settle for a draw. However, the match still had some twists left. Just before the final whistle, Al Nassr were awarded a crucial penalty.
Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up confidently and slotted the ball home, sending the goalkeeper in the wrong direction. This 2-1 lead ignited hope among Al Nassr fans for a victory. But the drama wasn’t over yet.
Shortly after Ronaldo’s goal, Al Shabab earned a penalty of their own, leaving Al Nassr supporters holding their breath. But in a dramatic turn, Al Shabab striker Abdelrazak Hamdallah missed the spot-kick, allowing Al Nassr to escape with the win.
The match had been intense throughout, with Al Nassr leading 1-0 from the 69th minute thanks to Aymeric Laporte. But Al Shabab found their way back into the game in the 90th minute, courtesy of an own goal by Ali Al-Hassan. Despite the late equalizer, Al Shabab couldn’t capitalize, and Al Nassr secured all three points.
