Despite being awarded 3 points to return to the race for a ticket to the AFC Champions League Elite, Al Nassr still had a disappointing performance, especially in defense. The capital team took the lead twice thanks to goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane, but the defenders played poorly and allowed the home team to equalize.
In the 90+6 minute, Machado ended Al Nassr's disastrous season with a goal to seal a 3-2 win for Al Fateh. At the same time, Al Hilal defeated Al Qadisiya 2-0, thereby joining Al Ittihad and Al Ahli in qualifying for next season's Asian Cup.

Al Nassr have been on a downward spiral since their defeat in the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League Elite this season. |
After the final whistle, Ronaldo was clearly disappointed. Despite winning the SPL Golden Boot with 25 goals, Ronaldo was still booed by fans, as Al Nassr had a third consecutive season without a trophy. Things got worse, when coach Stefano Pioli's team did not even have a ticket to the AFC Champions League Elite 2025/26.
"This chapter is closed. History is still being written. Thank you everyone," Ronaldo shared on his personal page after the defeat.
The 40-year-old striker has reached 800 goals at club level and 936 goals, including his national team achievements. However, CR7 cannot be happy as he has not won any titles since leaving Juventus.
Ronaldo's future remains a question mark. Some sources revealed that he has reached an agreement to move to Al Hilal, a club that has a ticket to the FIFA Club World Cup this summer.
