Cristiano Ronaldo of Al-Nassr took to Instagram following Tuesday’s 1-1 draw against Al Hilal, a result that keeps the Saudi Pro League title race wide open. The star forward refrained from addressing goalkeeper Bento’s costly mistake that allowed the equalizer.
“The dream is close. Heads up, just one more step! Thank you all for the incredible support tonight,” Ronaldo wrote on social media.
Bento’s blunder came in the final moments of the match. The Brazilian goalkeeper, attempting to claim a long throw-in alone, misjudged the ball as it slipped through his hands and into the net, handing Al Hilal a dramatic late equalizer.
Al-Nassr currently lead the 2025/26 Saudi League with 83 points, five ahead of Al Hilal. However, their rivals still have a game in hand, which could cut the gap to just two points and push the title decision to the final matchday.
