Cristiano Ronaldo Misses Penalty For Portugal vs Ireland At World Cup Qualifiers
ππ’π¬ππ¨π§, πππ ππ (ππ πππ πππππ): Cristiano Ronaldo narrowly missed out on making history once again as Portugal faced Ireland in their World Cup Qualifier on Saturday. The Al Nassr forward, who needed just one more goal to become the all-time leading scorer in World Cup Qualifying history, was denied after missing a crucial penalty.
Portugal were awarded a penalty in the first half following a handball inside the Irish box. Ronaldo, eager to seize the moment, stepped up to take the spot-kick, but his effort, driven straight down the middle, was superbly saved by Irish goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
Despite the miss, Ronaldo remained a constant attacking threat throughout the match. He came close to scoring with a fierce long-range strike that rattled the post earlier in the game, but fortune wasnβt on his side.
With the goalless performance, the record for the most goals in World Cup Qualifiers remains tied between Cristiano Ronaldo and Guatemalaβs Carlos Ruiz, both with 39 goals.
The Portugal captain will have another chance to stand alone at the top when his team hosts Hungary on October 14. Fans around the world will once again be watching to see if the 39-year-old legend can add yet another milestone to his illustrious career.
In the match, Portugalβs Ruben Neves scored a stoppage-time goal to sn**ch a 1-0 win over Ireland, which preserved Portugalβs 100 percent record in World Cup qualifying Group F and consolidated the top spot.
