Match Report
Al Nassr were eliminated from the competition in the round of 16 by Al Taawoun, who beat the home side 1-0 on Tuesday evening.
Ronaldo wasted a golden chance to level the game deep in stoppage time, and force the tie into extra-time.
But the former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus superstar blazed his penalty high over the bar.
The 39-year-old walked away from the away side's penalty area holding his head in his hands.
Al Taawoun shocked home fans as they took the lead in the 71st minute, when defender Waleed Al-Ahmed nodded home from a corner.
The away team almost scored again in injury time, but in a dramatic turn of the tables, Waleed almost turned from hero to villain when he brought down Mohammed Maran inside the penalty box to give away a penalty.
Fortunately, anxiety turned to relief with Ronaldo's penalty miss, which seals the Portuguese player's third consecutive exit from the King's Cup since joining Al Nassr in 2022.
Ronaldo will be looking to get back his usual self when the Saudi Pro League resumes on Friday, and Al Nassr take on league leaders, Al Hilal.

The truth is, Karma is at work against all those who hate Messi, all those who called Balloondor and world cup fraud and robbery. God Almighty himself is angry with them, they will never win anything again until they apologize to Messi and accept supremacy of Messi.

Scored 19 penalties when the team didn’t needed it and missed the decisive penalty when they needed it. Al Nassr bought him for trophies but he’s only given them suii

Yes they brag too much, complain to much and point fingers at others when things don't go their way. I guess FIFA is still to blame here even after Ronaldo failed to convert an undeserved penalty. 😂
