Cristiano Ronaldo missed a chance in extra time, and Al Nassr was knocked out of the King’s Cup.
While Al Nassr was still in the tournament, Al Taawoun beat them 1-0 on Tuesday night and sent them out in the round of 16.
Very late in the game, Ronaldo missed a great chance to tie the game and send it to extra time.
But the great player who used to play for Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus missed the penalty mark by a long shot.
The 39-year-old man left the penalty area for the other team with his hands over his head.
As a surprise to the home fans, Al Taawoun took the lead in the 71st minute when Waleed Al-Ahmed nodded in a corner kick.
Unfortunately for the away team, they almost scored again in extra time. However, Waleed almost became the villain when he brought down Mohammed Maran in the penalty area, which led to a penalty.
Ronaldo missed the spot, which made everyone feel better. This is Ronaldo’s third straight elimination from the King’s Cup since joining Al Nassr in 2022.
When the Saudi Pro League starts up again on Friday, Ronaldo will be hoping to get back to being himself. Al Nassr will play league winners Al Hilal.
