Ronaldo in disbelief after keeper’s howler prevents Al Nassr from sealing title | Football News

4 min readUpdated: May 13, 2026 09:52 AM IST Drama ensued at the Saudi Pro League as the battle between the title contenders, Al Nassr and Al Hilal ended in a 1-1 draw with a last-gasp goal from a shocking blunder from the Al Nassr goalkeeper Bento. Had the game ended in a 1-0 win for Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team would have won the Saudi title for the first time in seven years. Instead, cameras caught the sight of Ronaldo in disbelief sitting on the Al Nassr bench moments after his teammate Bento had let a throw-in slip between his hands into the goal. The goal came 10 seconds before the full-time whistle. What was bizarre about the goal was that Bento’s error came not due to pressure from an opposition player. It was Al Nassr defender Inigo Martinez who leapt and bumped into Bento as the Brazil goalkeeper jumped to catch a long throw from Al Hilal. Cameras caught the expressive Ronaldo, who had been substituted by then, clutching his temple in disbelief …

The Shikhar Dhawan-led Punjab Kings lost a close match in the IPL 2024 against SunRisers Hyderabad on Wednesday. Chasing a target of 183, Punjab Kings could manage 180/6 in 20 overs and lost by two runs. Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma kept the fight on till the last over but the Shikhar Dhawan-led team could not get over the line. However, a post by an X user is going viral where the person claims that Punjab Kings was robbed of two runs as a six by a batter was given a four. If those two runs would have been added to PBKS’ final score, the teams would have been tied at the end of 40 overs of play and PBKS would not have lost in regulation time. The match would have then entered the Super Over. “This was 14.4 ball from natarajan to jitesh. It was clearly a six but was given as a 4. Umpires didn’t even check it thoroughly. What’s the use of smart replays @IPL when these mistakes are happening. Raise your voice @realpreityzinta @imohitburman …

Domestic Umpiring Standards Under Scanner After CK Nayudu Trophy Howler

Published by Webster

The dubious dismissal of Karnataka opener Prakhar Chaturvedi in the recent Col. CK Nayudu Trophy U23 final against Uttar Pradesh has raised concerns about the standards of umpiring in domestic matches. The unsavoury incident happened in Karnataka’s first innings after Chaturvedi played a pull against UP pacer Kunal Tyagi well away from his body. The ball, which took a rather healthy edge off Chaturvedi’s bat, moved further away from stumper Aaradhya Yadav who had to make a full-length dive to his left to make the collection. But the ball rolled out of Yadav’s gloves before he could complete the catch even as the wicketkeeper thudded on to the ground. However, the on-field umpire upheld the appeal for caught behind much to the dismay of batter Chaturvedi, who made 33 and 86 in Karnataka’s maiden victory in the tournament which came by virtue of their first innings lead here at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. “Yes, it was a clear case of not out as I later saw the clippings. The ball came out of UP wicketkeeper’s …
