Cristiano Ronaldo’s quest for a dramatic season-opening win ended in frustration as Al Nassr drew 1-1 with Al Raed in a match packed with VAR drama and late twists. 🤯💥
The Portuguese legend opened the scoring with a trademark header off Sadio Mané’s corner, marking his 50th goal in 48 games for the club. 🎯 But the celebration was short-lived. Al Raed equalized via a Mohammed Fouzair penalty after Aymeric Laporte’s controversial foul, which saw the defender’s red card downgraded to yellow post-VAR review. ⚖️
Ronaldo thought he’d sealed victory in the 76th minute, only for an offside call to crush Al Nassr’s hopes. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner stared in disbelief as the referee waved it off—a moment that’ll dominate TikTok replays for days. 📱🔥
Despite dominating possession, Al Nassr couldn’t break through again, leaving fans wondering: Will CR7’s next chapter in Saudi Arabia bring more fireworks or heartbreak? 🌟⚡
