Today’s results in the 2026 Saudi Professional League favored Al-Nassr, who widened the gap between themselves and the runner-up, capitalizing on Al-Hilal’s stumble, despite Al-Ahli’s victory.
Before this round, Al-Nassr held the top spot, three points ahead of Al-Hilal. After Al-Nassr’s win over Al-Najma on Friday, the gap with the Blue Wave temporarily increased to six points.
Al-Hilal draws with Al-Taawoun 2-2
On Saturday, Al-Hilal hosted Al-Taawoun at the Kingdom Arena in the highlight match of the 27th round, and the Blue Wave narrowly managed to snatch a point.
Mohammed Kader Meiti opened the scoring in his first start for Al-Hilal in the 43rd minute, before Andre Girotto equalized in the 55th minute and then scored Al-Taawoun’s second goal in the 67th minute.
Marcos Leonardo scored Al-Hilal’s second goal in the 77th minute, and after that, all of Al-Taawoun’s efforts to equalize failed, leaving them with a disappointing point.

Al-Ahli crushes Damac 3-0
On the other hand, Al-Ahli easily defeated Damac 3-0 in their match at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Jeddah.
Dhari Al-Anzi scored an own goal in the third minute, followed by Ivan Toni’s goal in the sixth minute, and Matheus Gonçalves added the third in the 56th minute.
Toni increased his goal tally to 26, maintaining his position at the top of the Saudi Pro League’s scoring charts, two goals ahead of Al-Qadisiyah’s Julian Quiñones and three ahead of global football legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
This victory marks the 60th win for the German coach with Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League, making him the manager with the most wins in the club’s history in the competition.

Saudi League Standings 2026 After Round 27
Al-Nassr maintains its lead in the Saudi League standings 2026 with 70 points after the first 27 rounds, with only 6 rounds remaining in the Roshan League.
Al-Ahli and Al-Hilal are now tied for second place with 65 points each, with Al-Hilal holding the advantage on goal difference.
Jesus reveals… Why he denied Ronaldo a hat-trick against Al-Najma?
Al-Qadisiyah still has a chance to win the title if the Aramco-owned club defeats Al-Ettifaq on Sunday, which would bring them to 63 points, just 7 points behind league leaders Al-Nassr.
Upcoming matches for Al-Nassr, Al-Hilal, and Al-Ahli in the Saudi League 2026
Al-Hilal will face Al-Kholoud in a match brought forward from Round 29, and Al-Fayha will play Al-Ahli next Wednesday, due to both teams’ participation in the AFC Champions League.
On the other hand, Al-Nasr will have to wait until next Saturday, when they play a seemingly manageable match against Al-Akhdoud at the latter’s stadium as part of the 28th round of competitions, noting that the matches between Al-Hilal and Al-Khaleej, and Al-Ahli and Al-Fateh in the same round, have been postponed indefinitely.
