Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr set for crunch trip to Al Qadsiah after Al Hilal close gap
Al Nassr need three more wins to secure the Saudi Pro League title after Al Hilal kept the race alive with a 3-0 victory.
On Sunday, Al Nassr's 20-game winning streak ended with a 3-1 loss to Al Qadsiah, narrowing their lead in the Saudi Pro League title race.
Despite the defeat, Al Nassr maintains a five-point advantage over Al Hilal, who kept title hopes alive with a 3-0 win over Al Hazem on Saturday.
Brendan Rodgers' Al Qadsiah remain unbeaten at home this season, recording nine wins and six draws from 15 games at the Prince Saud bin Jalawi Stadium.
Reflecting on a "difficult season, not just on the pitch but off it," Cristiano Ronaldo faces a pivotal May 12 clash against Al Hilal to secure the league title.
Al Hilal must win all remaining fixtures and defeat Al Nassr on May 12 to challenge for the championship, hoping their rivals drop points elsewhere.
Al Qadisiyah won Al Nassr and interrupted the series of 20 victories of the Riyadh team. João Felix scored, Ronaldo hit the beam, Otávio " won" the dispensation. Fight for the title remains open (3-1).
Cristiano Ronaldo hopes to become national champion in Saudi Arabia for the first time this season. However, the chances of that happening have diminished significantly on Sunday due to a defeat with Al-Nassr. Al-Qadisiyah proved too strong, winning 3-1.
