CRISTIANO RONALDO missed a golden chance from just TWO YARDS out during Al-Nassr's 4-3 win over Al-Ahli in the Saudi Pro League.

The Manchester United and Real Madrid legend, 38, bagged a brace on Friday evening as his side came out on top in a high-scoring game in Riyadh.

His first goal came after just four minutes and was allowed to stand despite smoke from the stands obscuring the keeper's view of Ronaldo's shot.

Then in the eighth minute, the ball was fired across the box towards the Portuguese icon at the back post.

But as he got on the end of the cross to poke home, he somehow managed to hit the post with the goal at his mercy.

And football fans on social media could not believe what they had seen.
