Christian Bassogog's late goal secured a 1-1 draw for Al-Okhdood against league leaders Al-Ittihad, who failed to capitalize on Al-Hilal's loss. Houssem Aouar had earlier given Al-Ittihad the lead with a superb finish. Despite their lead, Al-Ittihad missed several chances, including a late save by Paulo Vitor from Karim Benzema. Meanwhile, Al-Qadsiah won 1-0 against Al-Riyadh, continuing their strong form, while Al-Ittihad remains six points ahead in the league.
Christian Bassogog's stunning late leveller denied Al-Ittihad the chance to move eight points clear at the Saudi Pro League summit after they were held 1-1 by Al-Okhdood.
But a moment of real quality put the league leaders ahead, with Houssem Aouar collecting Hassan Kadish's pass before weaving his way forward and finishing past Paulo Vitor.
In the seventh minute of second-half stoppage time, Al-Ittihad failed to clear a corner which fell to Bassogog, who rifled the ball into the top corner.
Al-Qadsiah also left it late to move above Al-Nassr and into third in the table after Abdulaziz Al Othman's stoppage-time winner earned them a 1-0 win over Al-Riyadh.
