Ronaldo in tears as Al-Nassr LOSE bonkers final on penalties after 3 sent off

CRISTIANO RONALDO was left in tears after Al-Nassr suffered penalty shoot-out heartbreak in the Saudi Cup final.

The superstar scored his spot-kick but was unable to prevent his side losing to Al-Hilal 5-4 on penalties.

The match ended 1-1 after extra-time, which came about thanks to an 88th minute equaliser from Al-Nassr star Ayman Yahya.

His goal came moments after Al-Hilal's Ali Albulayhi was shown a straight red card.

That was the second dismissal of the game after former Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina received his marching orders shortly before the hour mark, putting Al-Nassr down to ten men.

There was more drama to come however as Kalidou Koulibaly, who joined Al-Hilal from Chelsea last summer, was sent off in stoppage after picking up a second yellow card for a challenge on Al-Nassr's sub goalkeeper Waleed Abdullah.

Another former Premier League star, Aleksandar Mitrovic, had put Al-Hilal in front in the seventh minute.

So the match went to extra-time after a 1-1 stalemate, and penalties were needed to decided the winner.

Ex-Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves stepped up first for Al-Hilal and missed.

But Alex Telles, who also played with Ronaldo at Manchester United, did likewise to keep the scores level.

Mitrovic then made no mistake from 12 yards, as did Ronaldo - six more penalties were then converted before Saud Abdulhamid missed for Al-Hilal.

Incredibly, Ali Alhassan could not take advantage for Al-Nassr, and when Nasser Aldawsari made it 5-4 it was up to Meshari Al-Nemer to keep his side in the match, but he was unable to do so, much to the disappointment of Ronaldo.
