Cristiano Ronaldo Misses Penalty as Al-Nassr Secure Narrow Victory Over Neom

According to a report by Fabrizio romano on Wednesday, October 21, 2026, Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty during Al-Nassr’s Saudi Pro League encounter against Neom on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, but his team’s performance was enough to secure a 1-0 victory.

The Portuguese forward had an opportunity to put Al-Nassr ahead shortly before half-time after the referee awarded a penalty. However, Ronaldo’s effort went wide of the goal, leaving the score unchanged at the break.

Ronaldo also missed another clear scoring opportunity after the restart, making it a frustrating evening in front of goal for the experienced attacker. Despite these missed chances, Al-Nassr continued to push for a breakthrough.

João Félix eventually made the difference in the 61st minute, scoring with a long-range effort to give Al-Nassr the lead. His goal proved decisive as the Saudi Arabian side held on to claim all three points.

Although Ronaldo was unable to find the net, the result was positive for Al-Nassr as they continued their campaign in the Saudi Pro League. The match also highlighted how a team can overcome missed opportunities through the contributions of other players.

For Ronaldo, the missed penalty will be a disappointing moment, but the victory remains the most important outcome for his team. The forward will now look to put the setback behind him and return to scoring form in Al-Nassr’s upcoming fixtures.
