In a video shared on social media by ESPN, Ronaldo - who usually steps up to the spot for the Knights of Najd, instead gave the ball to Abdulrahman Ghareeb so he might record his first goal of the season.

Unfortunately, Ghareeb's penalty attempt was ultimately unsuccessful, per the BBC but many have still praised Ronaldo for his selflessness and newfound sense of happiness since moving to Saudi Arabia.
