“After Portugal’s departure from the 2022 World Cup, many assumed Cristiano Ronaldo had reached the end of his career. However, Ronaldo wasn’t inclined to write his farewell in such a negative way.
Following the World Cup, Ronaldo joined Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr. In the current season, Ronaldo has become an unstoppable force at Al Nassr. Last night, in the Saudi Super League match against Al Ahli, Ronaldo scored a brace in Al Nassr’s 3-0 victory, both goals being remarkable. In this season, Ronaldo has netted 18 goals in 18 matches for Al Nassr, with 15 goals in 13 matches specifically in the Saudi Pro League. In his last three league matches, Ronaldo has scored 4 goals.
Last night, Ronaldo scored his first goal against Al Ahli in the 77th minute. When he received the ball inside the box on the right-hand side, he was faced with four opponents, including the goalkeeper and defenders. Initially, Ronaldo controlled the ball magnificently on his own. Then, he maneuvered the ball slightly inside twice. Even the two defenders in front of him moved backward. However, keeping his eyes on the nearby goal post, Ronaldo took a lightning-fast shot. The two defenders and even the goalkeeper stationed in front of the post couldn’t stop the ball from finding the net. Ronaldo celebrated intensely after this fantastic goal. However, Ronaldo’s best goal came just three minutes later.
After creating an attack against Al Nassr, the Al Ahli defenders were pushing forward. Initially trailing behind, Ronaldo slowly moved ahead, eyeing the ball. At this moment, the Al Ahli goalkeeper attempted to intercept. He initially tried to clear the ball with his chest, but Ronaldo outsmarted him. He gently nudged the ball past him and then lofted it, even though several defenders were present in the box. The Al Ahli defenders were left standing as the ball found its way into the net. Ronaldo’s celebration was a sight to behold. After the match, he posted multiple pictures, conveying his best wishes for the weekend to everyone.
Before Ronaldo’s brace, Sami Al-Najei scored the first goal of the day for Al Nassr. This win marked Ronaldo’s team’s 18th victory in the last 19 matches. Currently, Al Nassr has accumulated 34 points from 14 matches, with 11 wins, 2 losses, and 1 draw. Al Hilal leads the league with 35 points from 13 matches. The next match for Al Nassr after December 2 will be against Al Hilal.”
Ronaldo’s exceptional performance with Al Nassr in the Saudi Arabian league shows his enduring impact and continued prowess on the field.
