On Wednesday, April 30, Al Nassr played the AFC Champions League semifinal against Kawasaki Frontale but failed to advance. However, Ronaldo had a golden opportunity to rescue his team.

In the final minutes of the match, with the score at 2-3 in favor of Kawasaki Frontale, the Portuguese superstar had a phenomenal chance to level the score. He latched onto a lofted pass, rounded the goalkeeper, but couldn’t make clean contact with the ball. A defender from the Japanese side managed to clear it for a corner.
