In a thrilling Riyadh Derby, Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal clashed in a Saudi Pro League match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Al-Nassr kicked off with a bang, as Talisca scored within the first minute from Otavio’s cross, putting the hosts in the lead. Al-Hilal responded with intensity, as Aleksandar Mitrović found the net in the 38th minute, only for his goal to be ruled offside.
Before halftime, Talisca scored again, but this too was disallowed for offside. In the second half, Al-Nassr appeared to secure their advantage when Talisca tapped in a rebound from Brozović’s shot. However, the offside flag came up once more, thwarting their hopes.
Al-Hilal leveled the game in the 77th minute with Milinković-Savić’s header from Lodi’s cross. Late drama ensued as Al-Hilal appealed for a penalty following a foul on Mitrović, but VAR denied it. With this draw, Al-Hilal leads the table, while Al-Nassr stands in third place.
