Cristiano Ronaldo may embrace every opportunity to reach 1,000 career goals. However, on Tuesday night, he sacrificed a chance to score to help Sadio Mane restore confidence. Despite being Al-Nassr’s penalty taker, Ronaldo gave Mane a penalty, who had been scoreless for nine games. After scoring his 925th goal in the 48th minute with a powerful header, Ronaldo gestured.
Al-Nassr was granted a penalty later in the game, but Ronaldo gave Mane the chance to score. The Senegalese winger calmly converted to win after a drought. Ronaldo apologized for the team’s inconvenience to fans.
I apologize for Al-Nassr starting the game late. This shouldn’t repeat. Sorry, he said. After the delay, Al-Nassr struggled to get through Al-Wehda’s defense in the first half. Ronaldo led them to a second-half breakthrough. His precise header from an Angelo Gabriel cross started the team’s revival.
