While Cristiano Ronaldo is off to a great start following his return to Manchester United, he may need to work on his aim after he sent a ball flying toward an unsuspecting steward on Tuesday.

According to Sky News, the steward (aka a marshal) was knocked to the ground after an errant kick by Ronaldo prior to Manchester United’s Champions League game against the BSC Young Boys sent the ball toward the stands. A video of the incident showed the woman looking away from the field just before the ball slammed into the back of her head.

In footage posted to social media, 36-year-old Ronaldo could be seen walking to the scene as other stewards tended to the woman — who later appeared in good health after Ronaldo gifted her one of his jerseys.

Ronaldo went on to score a goal for Manchester United, but the team came up short to BSC Young Boys and lost 2-1.

“Wasn’t the result we wanted, but now it’s time to recover well and focus on the next game!” he wrote on social media on Tuesday.

Ronaldo — considered one of the greatest soccer players of all time — is less than a month into his second stint on Manchester United. He announced his departure from Italy’s Juventus on August 27.
