Al-Nassr secured a 1-1 draw against Al-Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League, preventing a second consecutive away defeat but missing a crucial opportunity to draw level on points with league leaders Al-Hilal. Omar Mascarell gave Al-Khaleej a shock lead in first-half added time, heading in a delivery from Angelo Fulgini. Al-Nassr's Abdullah Al-Hamdan equalized from distance with 18 minutes remaining, following a pass from Inigo Martinez. This result leaves Cristiano Ronaldo's team one point behind second-placed Al-Ittihad. Al-Khaleej remains winless this season. Al-Nassr's next fixture is against UAE Pro-League side Al Ain in their AFC Champions League campaign. The draw highlights the competitive nature of the Saudi Pro League as Al-Nassr continues its pursuit of the top spot.
