(Reuters) - Cristiano Ronaldo apologised after Al-Nassr's game with Al-Wehda was delayed due to traffic, before the forward scored and won a penalty in a 2-0 victory in the Saudi Pro League on Tuesday.

Ronaldo, who allowed teammate Sadio Mane to take the penalty, led Al-Nassr to the win after the team bus arrived nine minutes after the scheduled kick-off, causing a one-hour delay.
