In Friday's (29th) top-of-the-table clash in the Saudi League, Ainas FC beat Altay 2-1 away from home to keep pace with table-topping Hilal thanks to an 87th-minute penalty from soccer star Cron, who has been on top of the league table with 10 goals and five assists this season, both leading the way in the league.
The moment was recorded in the 32nd minute of the match when Cron's precise pass helped Talisca break the deadlock. The 38-year-old Portuguese international almost made it a one-goal game in the second half, but his shot hit the post and bounced out. 79 minutes in, Ainas were in danger of losing points as they were leveled by their opponents, and Crown once again stepped up to the plate and sealed the deal with an 87th-minute penalty, helping Ainas make it a nine-game winning streak across all competitions, and now trailing table-topping Hirál by just two points to join the title race. The championship is now just two points behind Hilal at the top of the table, successfully joining the battle for the title.
