Real Madrid: That was the case Saturday for Cristiano Ronaldo, the superstar Nike NKE, +0.45% endorser who — along with his Portugal teammates — struggled in vain to put one past Austria and goalkeeper Robert Almer in their second Euro 2016 group stage match, according to Market Watch. The match ended in a scoreless draw. Sometimes you just have one of those days. Frustrated as he might have been throughout a game in which was frequently threatening, Ronaldo, who stars for Spanish club Real Madrid, had a gold-plated opportunity to break the deadlock when he drew a penalty kick in the 79th minute. This time, he stepped up to the spot, hit a low drive to his left — and to the right of Almer, who guessed incorrectly and dove in the wrong direction — and then doinked it off the goalpost for the first missed penalty of the tournament. Penalty shots are almost always scored, and Ronaldo is a habitually dangerous taker of free kicks.
