The 15th round of the Saudi Pro League featured the Riyadh Derby, a top-of-the-table showdown where Al Hilal hosted Al Nassr at home. Al Nassr eventually suffered a 1-3 defeat to their city rivals.
This loss condemned Al Nassr to three consecutive defeats and four winless games, with the team dropping 11 points in the process. In contrast, Al Hilal extended their winning streak to 19 matches across all competitions, taking a 7-point lead at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings. It is fair to say that Al Hilal has solidified their grip on this season’s league title, leaving Ronaldo facing yet another league title drought in his Saudi Arabia stint.
With Al Hilal leading 3-1, Ronaldo, who was sitting on the substitute bench, smiled and rotated his hand toward the camera.
