Cristiano Ronaldo did little to hide his disappointment when he was substituted with seven minutes remaining of Al Nassr’s 3–1 defeat to Al Hilal on Monday night.
The veteran forward had opened the scoring shortly before the first-half interval. A deft clip over the top of Al Hilal’s backline from João Félix was prodded across an empty box by Kingsley Coman for Ronaldo to spear into the roof of the net. The goal represented Ronaldo’s 15th of a league season which is still only 14 games old.
