Cristiano Ronaldo was left in tears as Al Nassr lost 5-4 on penalties to Al Hilal, marking a trophyless season for the star player.
The match, held in Jeddah, ended 1-1 after regular and extra time. Aleksandar Mitrovic opened the scoring for Al Hilal in the seventh minute, with Aiman Yahya equalizing in the 88th minute.
The intense game saw three red cards, including one for Al Nassr’s David Ospina and two for Al Hilal players. Al Hilal’s Yassine Bounou emerged as the hero by saving the final two penalties, securing a league and cup double for his team.
