Cristiano Ronaldo had a night to forget in the Saudi Arabia Superliga match between Al-Nasr and Neom.
The Portuguese attacker first lost a penalty and then wasted a fine chance in front of the empty gate in the second half. Despite his losses, Al-Nasr won 1-0 thanks to a goal by Joao Felix.
Ronaldo missed his first big chance at extra time in the first half. After Joao Felix collapsed in the penalty area, the judge awarded a penalty for Al-Nasr. Ronaldo took responsibility but couldn’t hit the door.
An even greater mistake occurred in the second half. Sadio Mane gave Ronaldo a fine pass, which was found only two meters away from the empty gate. He sent the ball beyond the bars.
The 41-year-old did not hide his disappointment after an unbelievable mistake. He raised his hands up, looked up into the sky and then lowered his head from disappointment.
His mistakes were eventually corrected by fellow countrymen Joao Felix, who scored in the second half to give Al-Nasr victory 1-0.
With this victory, Al-Nasr remained third in the Saudi championship, three points behind the leading Al-Qadsiah, but also with a less-developed match. /Telegraphy/
