Cristiano Ronaldo's missed penalty in stoppage time spelled the end for Al-Nassr's run in the King's Cup, falling 1-0 to Al-Taawoun.

The football star, who has yet to secure a major trophy with Al-Nassr, saw his perfect penalty record for the club blemished in a dramatic fashion.

The defeat marks a setback for new head coach Stefano Pioli, but Al-Nassr continues to pursue silverware this season with ongoing campaigns in the Saudi Pro League and Asian Champions League.
