Cristiano Ronaldo needed just 17 minutes to return to scoring form for Al-Nassr after a period of absence due to disagreements with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) management.
The Portuguese star started the match after missing Al-Nassr’s last three games (against Al-Riyadh and Al-Ittihad domestically, and Arkadag in the AFC Champions League).
Sadio Mane delivered a powerful cross to Ronaldo inside the penalty area, and with a trademark finish from the 41-year-old, the ball found the back of the net, giving Al-Nassr an early lead.
With this goal, Ronaldo returns to the race for the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot, reaching 18 goals, just two behind current leader Ivan Toni of Al-Ahli (20 goals).
Enjoy Ronaldo’s brilliant finish…
