Former Real Madrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo, showed a kind gesture towards Sadio Mane during Al-Nassr's 3-1 win over Al Khaleej in the semi-finals of the Saudi Kings Cup.

The Portuguese international scored a brace in the match and could have gotten a hat-trick if not for the penalty he gifted Mane in the first half.

After the good gesture from Ronaldo, Sports Brief takes a look at three other times the veteran footballer gave a penalty to his teammates.

Three times Ronaldo gave penalties to teammates

3. Karim Benzema vs Alaves

Ronaldo had a chance to score a hat-trick in Real Madrid's tie against Alaves in the Spanish La Liga in 2018 but opted to gift Benzema a penalty to boost his morale after being criticised by some of the club's fans.

2. Abdulrahman Ghareeb vs Al-Shabab

In Al-Nassr's match against Al-Shabaab last year, the Portugal national team captain was a goal away from completing another hat-trick but gave the opportunity to Ghareeb when their team earned a penalty.

1. Kaka vs Villarreal

The Brazilian legendary midfielder also benefitted from Ronaldo's good gesture during their time with Real Madrid.

The former Manchester United star passed the penalty duty to the Brazilian after Gonzalo Higuain was fouled in the box.

Ronaldo nets stunning volley

Sports Brief earlier reported that Ronaldo scored a left-footed volley for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Kings Cup semi-final against Al Khaleej on Wednesday, May 1.

Amidst the high stakes of securing a spot in the King's Cup final, Ronaldo rose to the occasion, seizing the moment to inspire his team.

With remarkable agility and precision, he capitalised on Khaleej's defensive lapse, swiftly turning and unleashing a thunderous strike that found the back of the net in the 17th minute.
