Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score again as Al-Nassr were dumped out of the Saudi Super Cup.

Nuno Espirito Santo's Al-Ittihad ran out 3-1 winners to progress to the final.

Al-Nassr fought back in the second half when Talisca met Luis Gustavo’s low cross from the left and beat Marcelo Grohe with a clinical finish on 67 minutes.

But Al-Ittihad sealed the win in the third minute of added time with Muhannad Al-Shanqeeti after another assist by Romarinho.

The result means Ronaldo has now failed to score in each of his two Al-Nassr appearances.
