Cristiano Ronaldo was left frustrated as Al-Nassr threw away a two-goal lead to lowly Saudi side Abha as the season takes more twists.
The Portuguese forward cut a frustrated figure throughout when his side blew their two-goal lead as Otavio and Anderson Talisca gave the Saudi Pro League giants a seemingly unassailable lead.
But Abha, who moved out of the relegation zone with the point, struck back through a Saad Bguir penalty and then an impressive Karl Toko Ekambi stoppage time strike.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who has had a good start to the season in the Saudi Pro League, looked annoyed at his teammates as they struggled to put the game to bed before being eventually punished.
Sultan Al-Ghannam was sent off after the equaliser, with former Premier League stars Sadio Mane, Aymeric Laporte and Alex Telles also all featured for Al-Nassr.
With the dropped points after leading, Al-Nassr now sits four points behind the league leaders Al-Hilal.
These dropped points against a side who are expected to be in a relegation battle is certainly a huge blow for Ronaldo and his teammates.
Al-Ahli win to put pressure on Al-Nassr
Franck Kessie, the former Barcelona and AC Milan midfielder, scored the only goal as Al-Ahli beat Al-Ittihad and are keeping pace with Al-Hilal who are top of the division.
Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr take on Damac and Al Feiha after the international break and have to register two wins from these games to keep up with the leading pack.
After the money that has been spent to help Ronaldo win the Pro League title with Mane and Laporte being the pick of the bunch, Al-Nassr needs a league title this season.
