Cristiano Ronaldo’s wait to win a major trophy with Al-Nassr is still on, after they were defeated in the Saudi Super Cup by Al Ahli on Saturday.
The game had ended 2-2 during regulation time and had to be decided by penalties.
Ronaldo opened the scoring in the game with a penalty – his 100th goal for Al-Nassr.
But Franck Kessie equalized for Al-Ahli before halftime.
Marcelo Brozovic then restored Al-Nassr’s lead late in the match, only for Roger Ibañez to equalize again.
The game went to penalties, where Al-Ahli kept their composure, with a crucial save by Édouard Mendy proving decisive.
Mendy saved Al-Nassr’s fourth kick from Abdullah Al-Khaibari, before Wenderson Galeno converted his kick to win Al-Ahli’s first Super Cup since 2016.
