Cristiano Ronaldo could have scored 2 consecutive hat-tricks for Al Nassr but he decided to give the penalty to his teammates.

This situation happened in the 62nd minute, when Al Nassr was leading Al Shabab 3-0 with a double goal from Cristiano Ronaldo and another goal from Sadio Mane. Otavio’s shot touched Iago Santos’ hand and the referee blew the penalty.

Instead of stepping up to the 11m mark as usual, Ronaldo was seen holding the ball and giving it to Abdulrahman Ghareeb for this attacking midfielder to perform. Unfortunately, Ghareeb’s shot hit the post, and the subsequent kick was not recognized by the referee.

Previously, Ronaldo had successfully shot two penalties, including the second one he earned himself due to a foul by the opponent in the penalty area. Interspersed between these two goals was a controversial situation when the referee canceled CR7’s header to hit Al Shabab because he thought he pushed the opponent’s defender.

Despite giving his teammates the penalty kick, Ronaldo still did not stop trying to find the third goal to complete the hat-trick. He almost did it with a header that hit the post late in the game, but in return, Sultan Al Ghannam promptly shot up to make it 4-0.
