Cristiano Ronaldo misses a sitter for Al Nassr to double their lead against rivals Al Hilal
Cristiano Ronaldo Misses Goal Against Al Hilal
Saudi Pro League winners Al Hilal maintained their unbeaten run in the domestic league after securing a late equaliser against Al Nassr, thanks to Ronaldo’s miss in the 26th minute of the tie.
Al Nassr fans have been left in disbelief when Cristiano Ronaldo missed a golden opportunity to double their lead against arch-rivals Al Hilal who have remained unbeaten in the domestic league this campaign.
The hosts had the perfect start to the night when Otavio scored a long-range screamer in the top-right corner from a Ronaldo assist. The Portuguese had a great chance to make it 2-0 in the 10th minute but it was a poor display by the veteran who missed another crucial chance two minutes later.
It had been a wasteful performance from the Real Madrid and Manchester United legend, as he failed to land any of his three shots on target.
