Cristiano Ronaldo has been forced to wait to get his hands on the Saudi Pro League title after goalkeeper Bento's last minute howler.

Ronaldo’s Al Nassr would have been crowned Saudi Pro League champions with a win over rivals Al Hilal on Tuesday (May 12).

Centre back Mohamed Simakan gave Al Nassr the lead after just 37 minutes, and as the clicked ticked down, it was looking like Ronaldo’s side would be crowned champions on the night.

Goalkeeper Bento just needed to deal with a routine cross in the 98th minute, but instead, he fumbled it and it ricocheted into the back of the net.

Al Nassr will now have to wait until the very last day of the season, when they face Damac FC, with Al Hilal five points behind them with a game in hand.
