Ronaldo Misses Penalty + Lowest Rating, Mane Scores as Al-Nassr Come Back to Beat Al-Fayha 3-1, Extend Winning Streak to 10 Games and Lead by 2 Points

At 3:00 AM Beijing Time on March 1st, in the 24th round of the Saudi Pro League, Al-Nassr faced Al-Fayha away.

In the first half, Simakan won a penalty, Ronaldo missed it, and Amri scored an own goal, leaving Al-Nassr trailing 0-1 at halftime. In the second half, Coman assisted Mane for a close-range equalizer, Felix forced an own goal to take the lead, and then assisted substitute Hamdan to score and seal the victory.

In the match Al-Fayha vs. Al-Nassr, Al-Fayha lined up in a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup valued at just 11.8 million euros. Al-Nassr also used a 4-2-3-1, with Ronaldo leading the line, supported by Felix behind him, Mane and Coman on the wings, Brozovic and Al-Habib as the double pivot. The back four consisted of Inigo, Amri, Simakan, and Nawaf, with Bento in goal—a starting eleven worth 112 million euros. With roughly a ten-fold difference in squad value, this was a match between clear favorites and underdogs. However, Al-Nassr conceded first and Ronaldo missed a penalty. Fortunately, three star players stepped up: Mane equalized, Coman provided an assist, and Felix forced an own goal and provided an assist, helping Al-Nassr secure a 3-1 comeback away win over Al-Fayha. They extended their league winning streak to 10 games and now lead by 2 points. It seems Ronaldo is getting closer to his first trophy with Al-Nassr...

But Ronaldo's current style of play is quite awkward. Stationed in the box, he offers little beyond shooting. While anyone can miss a penalty, this static approach heavily consumes the team's tactical flow. Against a clearly weaker side like Al-Fayha, Al-Nassr still needed a comeback to win. After the match, Ronaldo received a rating of 6.1, the lowest among Al-Nassr's starters—not a good look!

Throughout the match, Al-Nassr had 66% possession, with 19 total shots, 7 of which were on target. Al-Fayha managed only 4 shots, with none on target. Facing an opponent with zero shots on target, Ronaldo still missed a penalty, failed to score, and received the lowest rating. He is inching his way toward the 1000-goal milestone.
