Cristiano Ronaldo was left furious as Al-Nassr fell six points behind in the Saudi Pro League title race.
Ronaldo opened the scoring in Al-Nassr’s 2-1 home defeat to Al-Qadsiah after taking advantage of goalkeeper Koen Casteels’ doubts.
However, Julian Quiñones soon equalized for Al-Qadsiah before former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored what proved to be the winning goal shortly after the break.
Al-Nassr are six points behind league leaders Al-Hilal, who have played a game less and will face Al-Khaleej on Saturday.
Ronaldo has not won a league title since the 2019-20 campaign, when he was at Juventus, and it looks like his long wait may continue.
As usual, Ronaldo has made a significant contribution for Al-Nassr this season, scoring seven goals in ten league games so far.
