Ronaldo and his teammates receive good news.

In the early hours of April 5th, Al Hilal drew 2-2 with Al Taawon, creating a major turning point in the Saudi Pro League championship race.

Playing at home, Al Hilal fielded a full squad of star players determined to secure all three points and keep pace with Al Nassr. The capital team started impressively and opened the scoring at the end of the first half thanks to young star Mohamed Meite, born in 2007.

However, Al Taawon unexpectedly staged a strong comeback at the beginning of the second half, scoring two goals in quick succession. A late effort only resulted in a 2-2 equalizer for Al Hilal, scored by Brazilian striker Marcos Leonardo.

Malcom and his teammates dropped points at a crucial moment.

The final whistle blew, and disappointment enveloped the Kingdom Arena. At this point, the gap between Al Hilal and Al Nassr was 5 points. Coach Simone Inzaghi's team had lost control of their own destiny in the title race, even after defeating Al Nassr in their direct encounter earlier in May.

For Al Nassr, this is incredibly good news. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates have a strong chance of winning the national championship in the 2025/26 season. For Ronaldo personally, this is an opportunity to conquer his first trophy since arriving in the Middle East.

After a period of absence due to strikes and injuries, the Portuguese veteran has returned in top form, aiming to help Al Nassr end their title drought that has lasted since 2019.
