Cristiano Ronaldo misses open net for Al Nassr against Al Ain
Then, an own goal tied the score for the evening, and Ronaldo had a chance to put them ahead during play but inexplicably missed it with the goal at his disposal.
The five-time winner of the Ballon d'Or was waiting in the six-yard area when the goalkeeper fumbled a shot directly into his path.
Ronaldo attempted a left-footed shot, but it was utterly off-target, and the ball went wide and out of play.
The legendary football player was left with no choice but to throw in the towel after missing out on an incredible opportunity.
What caused him to abandon his strong side will always be a mystery, given how successful he was with both feet over his career.
He may not be looking back quickly after Al Nassr's disastrous exit from the AFC Champions League.
After another goal by Al Ain in the 118th minute, Ronaldo scored a penalty kick to send the match into extra time and set up a shootout. Alex Telles had scored Al Nassr's third goal of the game.
Amazing drama at Al Awwal Park that finally results in heartache for CR7 and his Al Nassr team, who made several comebacks throughout the match but lost in a penalty shootout.
Al Hilal-Al Ittihad's victor advances to the AFC Champions League semifinals, where the Riyadh-based team will take on the victor of that match. Al Ain leads 2-0 after the first leg.
