Bentu’s fatal mistake: Al-Nasr lost the title just before the final whistle sounded.
In the final round of the Saudi Arabian championship, a real drama unfolded. Al-Nasr lost its championship title in a very short time. Everything was determined by one single play: Bentu made a grave technical mistake when handling the ball after a corner kick. The goalkeeper could only touch the ball, failing to secure it properly with his gloves. This fatal mistake led to a own goal. This goal destroyed the team’s chances of winning the tournament. In just a few moments before the final whistle, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates’ dreams of winning gold medals were destroyed. The team, which had been in control of the season, couldn’t withstand the pressure in the final stages of the match. Bentu’s fatal mistake changed the balance of power in the table, giving the nearest competitors the opportunity to take control. Now, the fate of the trophy will be decided without Al-Nasr’s participation. The club will have to carefully analyze the actions of its goalkeeper.
