Iranian goalkeeper Beiranvand save the penalty from Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo became latest big player to miss a penalty in FIFA World Cup 2018. His shot from the penalty spot was saved by Iranian goalkeeper Beiranvand during the Group B match between Portugal and Iran on Monday.
Lionel Messi has seen his penalty saved against Iceland in FIFA World Cup earlier.
Record penalties
Ronaldo's penalty for Portugal was the 19th of the World Cup, breaking the all-time record tally set at the 2002 tournament hosted by Japan and South Korea. In Brazil four years ago, there were only 13 penalties in the entire tournament.
Iran were also awarded a penalty later in the match.
The use of the video assistant referee (VAR) system has contributed hugely to the spike, and it was employed again to set up Al-Faraj for his spot kick.
Earlier, there were two penalties awarded in the match between Egypt and Saudi Arabia on Monday.
Portugal manage draw
Portugal advanced to the World Cup round of 16 behind Spain from Group B after Ricardo Quaresma's stunning strike on the stroke of halftime was cancelled out by a dramatic stoppage-time penalty by Iran's Karim Ansarifard on Monday.
Portugal finished tied on five points with Spain, who drew 2-2 against Morocco to top the group by scoring more goals, and set up a second round clash with Group A toppers Uruguay in Sochi on Saturday.
Making his World Cup debut at the age of 34, Quaresma played a one-two with Adrien Silva to cut in from the right flank and curled the ball past the outstretched hands of goalkeeper Alireza Beiranvand with the outside of his boot.
Iran were awarded a penalty in stoppage time after Paraguayan referee Enrique Caceres used the video assistant referee (VAR) system to rule that Portugal's Cedric Soares had handled the ball in the box.
Ansarifard converted the penalty to make it 1-1, pushing Portugal to second spot in the group behind Spain.
