Cristiano Ronaldo continues to defy age and dominate the pitch, netting another brace to lead Al Nassr to a 2-1 comeback win over Al Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday night.
At 40, Cristiano Ronaldo remains a goal machine. The Portuguese superstar delivered yet another stellar performance, scoring twice against Al Riyadh to secure victory for Al Nassr in a thrilling Saudi Pro League encounter.
Despite falling behind in first-half stoppage time to a goal from Fayez Selemani, Al Nassr clawed back into the match with Ronaldo’s clinical finishing. In the 56th minute, Sadio Mané set up the equalizer, and Ronaldo made no mistake in finding the net. Just eight minutes later, the iconic forward scored again, this time once more assisted by Mané, sealing the win.
This marks the second consecutive match in which Ronaldo has scored a brace. Just last week, he netted twice against league leaders Al Hilal. With these two latest goals, Ronaldo now boasts an incredible career tally of 933 goals, steadily approaching the 1,000-goal milestone.
Ronaldo’s consistency and sharpness are proving invaluable for Al Nassr as they continue their campaign in the Saudi top flight, with their talisman showing no signs of slowing down.
