3 Chances.. What do Al Nasri need to officially win the Saudi League?

Al-Nasr lost their chance to win the Roshan Saudi Arabia Professional League title on Tuesday evening after being held to a 1-1 draw by arch-rivals Al-Hilal at Al-Awal Park Stadium in the 32nd round of the competition.

In the 37th minute, Mohamed Simakan scored a goal for Al-Nasr, and Nasr fans were about to celebrate the championship title, but the international goalkeeper Pinto made a fatal mistake in the last second of the game (90 + 8) and mistakenly scored an own goal, missing a long throw.

“Al-Nasri” needed a win over their rival in the Riyadh derbyTo officially win the Saudi League title for the first time in 7 years.

Despite the fateful draw, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo’s team-mates still have their destiny in their hands to win the championship title this season.

Al-Nasr leads the Saudi League standings with 83 points, with one match remaining in the last round against Damak, who are fighting to avoid relegation.

On the other hand, Al Hilal is in second place with 78 points and has two matches against NEOM and Al Fayhaa.

Al-Nasr have 3 chances to clinch the league title, the first of which is a draw or defeat by Al-Hilal in the penultimate round against NEOM next Saturday.

There remains a second possibility that Al-Nasr will beat Damaq, regardless of the result of the last match between Al-Hilal and Al-Fayhaa (if Al-Hilal beat NEOM.

The third possibility is that Al-Nasr will hesitate against Damak, either a draw or a loss, provided that Al-Hilal do not win against Al-Fayha.

Notably, Al-Nasr is preparing for the 2nd round of the AFC Champions League, which will take place next Saturday, against Japan’s Gamba Osaka at the Awal Park Stadium.

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to look for his first major title with Al-Nasr after joining the world club in January 2023.
