In the sixth minute of stoppage time of the match held yesterday, Tuesday, at the "Al-Awwal Park" stadium in Riyadh as part of the round of 16 of the Saudi King's Cup, Al-Nasr was awarded a free kick on the edge of the penalty area, a perfect opportunity for Ronaldo's specialty.
"The Don" had to convert the penalty into a goal
in order to avoid his team losing and extending the match into extra time.
Before the referee blew his whistle to start the free kick, Ronaldo appeared, motivating himself in a low voice, repeating three times: "You're going to score!"
Despite “Don’s” determination and serious attempt to save his team in the last moments, his powerful shot hit the wall of Al-Ittihad players and flew away from the goal, dashing Al-Nasr’s hopes of continuing in the tournament.
The match then ended with Al-Ittihad winning 2-1, meaning Al-Nasr exited the tournament early, and Ronaldo continues to be unable to lead his team to its first official title since joining the club in January 2023.
