In a thrilling clash on Friday, Al Nassr's quest for a Saudi Pro League title hit a major snag after a 2-1 loss to Al Qadsiah. The match was full of drama and surprises from the first whistle.
It all started in the 35th minute when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang forced a crucial save, allowing Turki Al-Ammar to capitalize on the rebound and give Al Qadsiah the lead. The early breakthrough set the stage for an intense battle.
Al Nassr didn't back down. In the 84th minute, Sadio Mane leveled the score, igniting dreams among fans that the gap in the title race could soon narrow. But the excitement turned bittersweet when Aubameyang struck again with a soaring header in the 87th minute, handing Al Qadsiah a memorable win. 😱
Now, Al Nassr finds themselves in third place, eight points adrift of the league leaders with just six games remaining. This result casts a long shadow over Cristiano Ronaldo's ambitions of capturing his first Saudi Pro League crown, leaving fans wondering if a turnaround is still possible.
