In the 90th minute, the Hilal forward leaped into the air to head home and hand his side a 2-0 advantage. During his leap, he outjumped the Portuguese legend - who flew to the ground in an attempt to claim a foul during the process. It was a moment of celebration for the ex-Fulham star, while Ronaldo remained on the ground throwing his hands up towards the referee.

With the defeat, they're now at least three games out of first place and their title hopes are all but fading as a result. Even without superstar Neymar Jr, Hilal are getting the job done.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

The Serbian star will look to make it seven-straight games with a goal when Hilal returns to action against Nassaji on Monday in the AFC Champions League. With the win on Friday, they're now seven points clear of Ronaldo and Co. in the league standings.

WHAT NEXT FOR HILAL AND MITROVIC?
