Abdullah Al-Hamdans spectacular second-half strike spared Al-Nassr a second successive away defeat in the Saudi Pro League as Cristiano Ronaldos side missed the chance to move level on points with leaders Al-Hilal by drawing with Al-Khaleej in Dammam. Real Madrid youth product Omar Mascarell headed in Angelo Fulginis delivery to give the hosts, who are yet to win this season, a shock lead during first-half added time. Saudi Arabia forward Al-Hamdan collected Inigo Martinezs pass and equalised from distance with 18 minutes remaining, leaving Al-Nassr a point behind second-placed Al-Ittihad, who beat them 2-1 in their previous match on the road.
