Neymar missed his penalty kick in the Al Hilal match against Al Shabab, but Cristiano Ronaldo scored the game-winning penalty for Al Nassr.
For the first time since moving to Al Hilal, Neymar was given the chance to take a penalty. He wasted a chance to put Al Shabab up in the Saudi Pro League’s eighth round, but Al Hilal went on to win 2-0 even if the Brazilian striker was not on the score sheet.
This 31-year-old player has been with his new squad for four matches. September 15 was his debut; he started the game on the bench and did not score, despite Al Hilal defeating Al Riyadh 6-1.
Subsequently, Neymar participated in the Asian Cup group stage and began the Saudi Arabian National Championship match against Damac, which resulted in a 1-1 draw. The former Barcelona and PSG player did not score in either game, and as a result, his club lost.
Neymar’s missed penalty
Neymar missed in the most amazing fashion as well right now, standing in front of the 11-meter mark. Al Hilal was awarded a penalty in the 37th minute of the play against Al Shabab, with the score at 0-0. Goalie Kim Seung-Gyu misjudged Neymar’s attempt to shoot to the left, touched the ball, struck the post, and rebounded back into the center of the goal. The Al Hilal players were unable to take a shot because the Korean goalie still had time to go back and retrieve the ball.
Neymar’s penchant for missing penalties during his stint at PSG caused issues for Kylian Mbappe, another important member of the team. Their heated argument about who should have taken the penalty kick in the middle of the game was the lowest point of their tight relatio
Coming full circle, Neymar then made amends in the Al Hilal vs. Al Shabab encounter, helping Kalidou Koulibaly open the goal in the second half before Aleksander Mitrovic completed a 2-0 triumph to secure top spot in the group.
