Al Nassr (SAU) came close to winning the Saudi League title this Tuesday (12). However, Cristiano Ronaldo and Jorge Jesus’ team did not lift the trophy because of a bizarre mistake by Bento, of the Brazil national team.
In the 53rd minute of the second half, Al Nassr were beating Al Hilal 1-0 and claiming the Saudi League title. However, everything fell apart after a throw-in.
Al Hilal took a long throw and the ball reached Al Nassr’s penalty area. Bento, who has already received several call-ups to the Brazil national team, came off his line in a clumsy way, and Jorge Jesus’ team conceded the equalizer in the final minute.
Because of this, the match between Al Hilal and Al Nassr ended 1-1. Even so, Jorge Jesus’ team needs only a win in the final round to become Saudi League champions. Benzema’s team, on the other hand, needs to hope the former Flamengo coach’s side slips up.
Flamengo, Jorge Jesus’ former team, face Vitória again this Thursday (14) at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time), at Barradão, in the second leg of the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil. The match will be broadcast by Premiere on pay-per-view.
