Cristiano Ronaldo’s sublime winner for Al Nassr against Al Shabab on Tuesday deprived Al Ittihad of sealing the Saudi Pro League trophy with two rounds to spare.
With three points separating the title chasers, we look at what faces both clubs as the season races to a dramatic conclusion.
Needing one win from their two remaining fixtures to secure the title, victory for Ittihad at 12th-placed Al Fayha will get the job done irrespective of what Nassr do away to Al Ettifaq, who sit 10th.
Ittihad hold a superior head-to-head record over Nassr – the league’s first decider should teams be level on points – having beaten their title rivals 1-0 at home in March.
