Ronaldo misses penalty for Al Nassr in 1st game since Portugal suspension
Hislop slams 'ridiculous' Ronaldo suspension and fine (1:33)

Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty in his first match since being suspended by the Portuguese Football Federation as Al Nassr beat Saudi Pro League rivals Neom 1-0.

Ronaldo spurned the chance to give his side an interval lead when he fired his spot-kick wide in first-half stoppage time after Neom defender Mohammed Al Dossary had brought down João Félix in the box.

Ronaldo was suspended for 30 days and fined €255 ($285.90) on Monday after walking out on his national team earlier this month.

The former Manchester United and Real Madrid winger had already been provisionally suspended by Portugal after leaving their camp shortly before a Nations League game against Denmark following a dispute with head coach Jorge Jesus. Ronaldo accused Jesus of breaking promises over his playing time, having been left on the bench against Norway.

The fine was the maximum allowable by the federation after mitigating circumstances were taken into account, with the federation adding that Ronaldo's confession and clean disciplinary record helped to reduce the punishment.

If the suspension is backdated to the time of the provisional ruling, he will be available to play in his country's next match against Denmark again on Nov. 14.

Al Nassr's seventh league win of the season lifted them up to third in the Saudi Pro League table, three points behind leaders Al Qadsiah with a game in hand.
