Battling to claw their charges back into the game, Ronaldo came close severally to finding an equaliser but was denied by former Sevilla goalkeeper and Morocco international Yaccine Bounou.

One of the closest moments the Portuguese came to nailing home the equaliser was when he let fly on the ball with an incredible bicycle kick. Bounou was totally at a loss but the ball hit the woodwork and bounced back.

After several attempts, Al-Dawsari finally scored the equaliser for Al-Nassr two minutes before the regulation time and the game was dragged to extra time and then to penalties.

In the shootouts, Al-Nassr lost 5-4, giving away the Saudi King’s Cup trophy to Al-Hilal, who also beat them to the 2023-24 Saudi Pro League title.
