Waleed Al-Ahmed used a defensive breakdown in the 71st minute to score the only goal for the game. Al-Nassr couldn't reach the back of the net, therefore managing just five shots on target while controlling 65% of the possession and collecting 15 strokes. Al-Taawoun's disciplined defence was strong; they ended the game with three yellow cards but celebrated a well-earned victory, therefore excluding the hosts from the competition and advancing to the quarterfinals.Also Read: Cristiano Ronaldo Speaks on Al-Nassr's Disappointing Loss To Al-TaawounCristiano Ronaldo’s missed penalty hit a fan and reportedly broke his phone during Al-Nassr vs Al-Taawoun in the Kings Cup RO16Cristiano Ronaldo missed a stoppage-time penalty, and Al-Nassr was eliminated from the King’s Cup in a 1-0 loss to Al-Taawoun on Tuesday.
