In the most remarkable of circumstances
Cristiano Ronaldo was nearly reduced to tears in a mad moment in which Al-Nassr cost him his first Saudi Pro League.
With ten seconds to play, Al-Nassr were beating title rivals Al-Hilal 1-0, with victory due to secure the title for Ronaldo's side.
Though, with ten seconds to play after eight intense minutes of injury time, Al-Nassr goalkeeper Bento made a horrific error which cost his team the title.
The 26-year-old, who was also named in Carlo Ancelotti's Brazil provisional squad, went to claim a cross from a throw-in, and completely squandered it.
As the ball was falling into his arms, he was nudged off-the-ball from teammate Inigo Martinez.
Ronaldo was left heartbroken. Having already shook his head when being subbed off in the 83rd minute, he couldn't believe his eyes.
One fan added: "Ronaldo does not deserve this man."
