A very bad night for Al Nassr… and for Cristiano Ronaldo. Those from Riyadh lost (0-1) against Al-Taawon of ‘Vasco’ Arruabarrena and were eliminated from the King Cup in Saudi Arabia. Cristiano also missed a penalty in the 96th minute.
In this way, a chance of a title disappears for Cristiano Ronaldo’s team… which had just drawn (3-3) against Al Kholood and, before that, five consecutive victories since the arrival of Stefano Pioli as the new coach.
Brazilian Flavio’s goal was decisive in eliminating a dense Al Nassr, who dominated the ball but did not shine on the offensive end. Cristiano Ronaldo, who took a penalty into the clouds in the 96th minute, started… as did Aymeric Laporte.
