Cristiano Ronaldo misses a crucial penalty that could have put his team ahead in the match against Al Khaleej. The Portuguese star used his signature stutter step to deceive the goalkeeper, but the shot brushed past the post. However, Al Nassr quickly bounced back, with Jhon Durán opening the scoring for the team.

Still, the former Real Madrid player got his redemption from the spot later on. This time, he converted and apologized to the fans. With this win, Al Nassr moves within one point of qualifying for the AFC Champions League, with just one game left in the season.

It’s not the first penalty he’s missed. Against Al-Taawon, managed by ‘Vasco’ Arruabarrena, he failed to score from the spot in the 96th minute, which led to the team being knocked out of the cup and losing a shot at the title.
