Cristiano Ronaldo’s misfortune continued as he missed a last-minute penalty, leading Al-Nassr to a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Al-Taawoun in the King’s Cup. This loss marks a significant setback for the team under new manager Stefano Pioli, who has faced increasing pressure after a series of underwhelming performances.
The match began slowly, with both teams struggling to create chances. Ronaldo, who had been unable to influence the game, attempted to spark his team into life after halftime by dropping deeper to participate in the buildup. Despite this effort, Al-Taawoun took the lead through a well-executed corner kick in the 71st minute, scored by Waleed Al-Ahmed.
As the game neared its conclusion, Al-Nassr earned a penalty in stoppage time. Fans held their breath as Ronaldo stepped up to take the shot, but in a shocking turn of events, he skied the ball over the crossbar, sealing Al-Nassr’s fate in the tournament.
Fans of Lionel Messi took to social media to express their delight, highlighting the challenging days for Ronaldo supporters following recent losses, including Real Madrid’s defeat in El Clasico and the Ballon d’Or results. Many praised Messi’s consistent performances, while Ronaldo’s latest miss added fuel to the fire of rivalry between the two football icons. Al-Nassr must quickly regroup as they prepare for their next match against Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Hilal on November 1. ..ALSO READ FULL FROM SOURCE ↔️
