STORY: Al Nassr were held to a 1-1 draw at home to midtable Al Taawoun in the Saudi Pro League on Friday (May 16).

Otavio opened the scoring for the hosts in Riyadh with a header from a corner in the 51st minute, before Roger Martinez equalised 19 minutes later.

Al Nassr, who for the second consecutive league match were without star forward Cristiano Ronaldo, missed the chance to climb back into third in the standings.

They sit fourth, one position off an Asian Champions League spot, on 64 points, one behind Al Qadsiah with two matches remaining.

On Thursday Al Qadsiah beat Al Wehda 3-1 at home, while Al Ittihad, captained by Karim Benzema, clinched the Saudi Pro League title with two matches to spare as they came from a goal down to beat Al Raed by the same scoreline.
