Ronaldo then brought his side level in the 23rd minute of the game but his low shot into the corner of the net was ruled out due to an offside.
Just after the half-hour mark, Ronaldo was given another chance to open his account at his new club.
Talisca had his shot brilliantly deflected onto the post by the keeper, and the ball fell into the path of Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar was expected to bury it in the back of the net but managed to blaze it over the bar.
Ronaldo then had another effort before the halftime break, blasting another shot toward the goal which hit the crossbar. The frustration on his face was evident, but even fans are starting to grow frustrated with his performances.

Ronaldo blamed for cup loss
Al-Nassr coach, Rudi Garcia has appeared to put the blame for his side's elimination from the Saudi Super Cup on Cristiano Ronaldo, Sports Brief earlier reported.
Garcia's charges bowed out of the competition at the semi-final stage following a 3-1 loss to Al-Ittihad on Thursday evening.
Reflecting on his side's exit, Garcia identified a chance missed by Ronaldo as the moment which turned the tie away from Al-Nassr's favour.
