Scary moment: Cristiano Ronaldo misses stoppage-time penalty

Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up to take a stoppage-time penalty for Al Nassr, and it was meant to be his moment. The Portugal international-who has made a name for himself in keeping his nerve amid pressure-had scored all 18 of his penalties for Al Nassr thus far. Still, this time the ball went over the bar to the surprise of the 14,519 home crowd.

It was a shocking 1-0 win for Al-Taawoun in their Round of 16 encounter in the current King’s Cup, which is the top knockout tournament in Saudi Arabia.

Waleed Al-Ahmad-headed goal with the lead for Al-Taawoun with 20 minutes left; then Al-Ahmad was called for a foul in the penalty area in the 95th minute, but then again, Lady Luck had other ideas when Ronaldo missed his chance. That means there are two more titles for Ronaldo and Al Nassr to fork for this season. They’ve collected seven points from three games in the Asian Champions League group stage and sit six points off leaders Al Hilal after eight games in the Saudi Pro League.
