International news agencies and social media shared footage of the Portuguese star shedding tears after the end of the penalty shootout that frowned on his team, and the Don was seen crying on the pitch and on the bench. Ronaldo failed once again to win his first domestic title since joining Al-Nasr, after losing to Al-Hilal on penalties (4-5) in the final of the Saudi Cup after the original and extra time ended in a 1-1 draw on Friday at Al-Jawhara Al-Masha'a Stadium. Serbian Aleksandar Mitrovic scored Al-Hilal's goal (7) and Al-Nasr equalized the result (88) through Ayman Yahya with a header that settled the Moroccan Yassin Bounou's net to win the double after he had already won the local league title. The meeting witnessed the expulsion of Colombian David Ospina, Al-Nasr keeper (56), in addition to the expulsion of Al-Hilal defense duo Ali Al-Balihi (87) and Senegalese Khalidou Koulibaly (90). Al Hilal missed in the penalty shootout Portuguese Robin Neves and Saud Abdel Hamid, while Al Nasr missed Brazilian Alex Telles, Ali Al Hassan and Mishari Al Nimr, as Al Hilal won 5-4 on penalties, to win the title for the 11th time in its history.Al Hilal retained the title it won last season on penalties also at the expense of Al Wahda. Al Hilal won for the fifth time against Al Nasr in four competitions, twice at the league level, which ended with Al Hilal winning the first leg and sharing the result in the second leg, as well as in the semi-final of the Saudi Super Cup, which was decided in favor of Al Hilal by two goals before the Riyadh Season Cup meeting, which Al Hilal won 2-0.
