Bento's howler delays CR7's first title in Saudi Arabia 😱 | OneFootball

An ugly mistake by Brazilian goalkeeper Bento prevented Al-Nassr from winning the Saudi League title this Tuesday.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s team was leading 1-0 until the 53rd minute of the second half, a scoreline that would have secured the trophy with one round to spare.

In the final attack of the match, Al-Hilal, second in the table, launched a throw-in into the box.

Bento came off his line to make what looked like a simple save, but collided with a teammate and let the ball slip through into the net.

The goalkeeper is awaiting a possible call-up to Brazil’s national team for the World Cup next Monday (18).

The first goal of the match had been scored by Mohamed Simakan in the first half.

If Al-Nassr goes on to confirm the title, it will be Cristiano Ronaldo’s first in Saudi football.

The Portuguese star did not find the net in Tuesday’s match and remained on 971 career goals.

He left the field late in the second half and was waiting for the title to be confirmed on the bench.
