Overview
- Al-Qadsiah’s 3-1 home win in Al Khobar on Sunday snapped Al-Nassr’s 20-match winning streak across all competitions.
- The defeat leaves Al-Nassr’s five-point lead vulnerable with Al-Hilal owning a game in hand before their May 12 Riyadh derby.
- Mohammed Abu Al-Shamat struck on 24 minutes, João Félix leveled on 39, then Musab Al-Juwayr and Julián Quiñones finished the job in the second half.
- Cristiano Ronaldo hit the crossbar and went scoreless, then posted, “One mission. We keep working. TOGETHER!” to rally the squad.
- Al-Nassr now visit Al Shabab on May 7, face Al-Hilal in a likely title-shaping derby on May 12, and play Gamba Osaka in the AFC Champions League Two final on May 16.
