In a thrilling Saudi Pro League encounter, Al-Nassr experienced a dramatic match against Al Hazem, resulting in an electrifying 4-4 draw at the KSU Stadium in Riyadh on February 29.
Despite the absence of their top scorer, Ronaldo, due to suspension, the Knights of Najd dominated possession but struggled to fill the goal-scoring void.
The rollercoaster ride began with a remarkable hat-trick from the Brazilian striker and a goal from Mane, yet Al-Nassr found themselves surrendering the lead four times.
Talisca’s well-taken penalty broke the deadlock, pleasing Cristiano watching from the VIP stands.
Luis Castro’s team managed to hold onto their lead until halftime, but Al Hazem equalized in the second half.
Ayman Yahya’s close-range finish, assisted by Talisca, restored Al-Nassr’s lead, only for Toze to level the score for Al Hazem.
Talisca, however, connected with a cross from Alex Telles to put Al-Nassr ahead again in the 72nd minute.
Despite Mane’s stoppage-time penalty seemingly securing victory, Paulo Ricardo’s goal in the 10th minute of stoppage time leveled the score once more, leaving Al-Nassr fans heartbroken, as reported by Daily Sports.
