Al Nassr FC came very close to beating Al Hilal SFC, but late drama denied them the win in one of the biggest matches in Saudi football.
The game looked almost finished after Mohamed Simakan gave Al Nassr the lead in the first half. Al Hilal kept pushing for an equaliser, but Al Nassr defended well for most of the match and looked ready to hold on.
Fans inside the stadium had already started celebrating what looked like a massive victory.
But everything changed late in stoppage time.
A dangerous ball into the box created confusion at the back, and goalkeeper Bento Krepski mistakenly turned the ball into his own net while trying to stop the attack. The late goal gave Al Hilal a dramatic equaliser and completely changed the mood around the match.

The result felt painful for Al Nassr because they were only moments away from an important win against their biggest rivals.
Players like Cristiano Ronaldo tried to push the team forward during the game, while Al Hilal continued attacking until the final seconds. That pressure eventually paid off.
The match was tense from the beginning, with strong tackles, quick counter attacks and loud reactions from both sets of supporters. Like many meetings between these two clubs, emotions stayed high throughout the night.
Al Hilal will feel relieved to escape with a draw, while Al Nassr may look back at the final minutes and wonder how the victory slipped away so late.
