Cristiano Ronaldo misses a “fatal” penalty kick and Al-Nasr bid farewell to the Saudi Cup

Al-Nasr team bid farewell to the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Cup competitions, losing to its guest, Al-Taawoun, with a goal without a response, at the “First Park” stadium, in the tournament’s eighth-final, in its stadium and among its fans, in the match that witnessed Cristiano Ronaldo miss a fatal penalty kick in the 96th minute.

It was enough to achieve a draw.

The only goal of the match was scored by defender Walid Al-Ahmad in the 71st minute of the match with a powerful header from a corner kick that Brazilian goalkeeper Pinto was unable to stop.

Al-Nasr had a golden opportunity to equalize in the final hour, specifically in the sixth minute of stoppage time, after the referee awarded a penalty kick in favor of the team.

Cristiano Ronaldo blocked the kick, but he missed it strangely after knocking the ball over the goal, depriving his team of the opportunity to equalize and return the result of the match.

It is the first penalty kick that Ronaldo missed since moving to the ranks of Al-Nasr, after successfully scoring 18 previous penalty kicks.

This is considered Al-Nassr’s first loss under the leadership of its Italian coach Stefano Pioli, after a series of 7 victories in all tournaments (including 4 in the league, 2 in the Asian Elite League, and a match in the King’s Cup), before this series was stopped in a 3-3 draw with Al-Khuloom, Last Friday, in the league.
