Saudi Arabia United controversy Act 1: Defending champions reversed 3-2! 10 minutes of stoppage time + 4 minutes of overtime to press the whistle

In a key match in the 13th round of the Saudi League that ended in the early morning of December 8, Beijing time, the defending champion Riyadh Crescent defeated Buraidah Pioneer 3-2 at home, continuing to chase the leader Jeddah United in the standings.

In this game, Riyadh Crescent almost capsized in the gutter at home. Just seven minutes into the game, the Buraidah Pioneer relied on Karim Berkawi to score in front of the goal to take the lead.

Although in the 42nd minute, Milinkovic's header helped Crescent equalize. However, in the rematch, the Buraidah Pioneer regained the lead in the 77th minute thanks to Yahya Sambule's volley. Seeing that Riyadh Crescent is about to lose the game, the magical plot is staged again. In the 88th minute, Cancelo crossed and Marcos Leonardo headed home the equalizer.

Stoppage time was supposed to be 10 minutes, but the referee did not blow the whistle until the 104th minute. Riyadh Crescent did not waste the referee's covert help, and the last attacking opportunity was used to take a corner kick and rely on captain and Saudi international Ali Blaich to score with a hammer to complete the stunner. And after the kill, Blasch also ran to the sidelines to celebrate excitedly.

After the narrow victory in this campaign, Riyadh Crescent accumulated 34 points in 13 rounds, 2 points behind the leader Jeddah United, and temporarily ranked second in the standings, and the suspense of the championship continued. Ronaldo's Riyadh Victory is only 4th with 25 points, and the gap between the two teams has been widened, and the hope of winning the championship is very slim.
