This past Saturday, the match took an exciting turn in the second half, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo. He brought Al-Nassr back into the game, scoring two spectacular goals and leading the team to a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Al-Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League. His incredible talent truly shone through during this match, making it a memorable evening for fans at home.
Al-Riyadh took the lead just before halftime when winger Faiz Selemani lit up the game, slotting the ball into the net after a rebound from goalkeeper Bento’s save, making it 1-0. It was a tough blow for Al-Nassr and their fans.
However, the second half was all Ronaldo. He quickly brought Al-Nassr back into the game with a calm and straightforward finish after Sadio Mane delivered a clever cross. Then, he turned the match around completely with a breathtaking volley that soared into the top corner, putting his team ahead 2-1.
In stoppage time, Ronaldo almost assisted his teammate John Duran, but unfortunately, the Colombian’s shot went sailing over the crossbar. That miss was almost costly, as Al-Riyadh’s Enes Sali later rattled the post with a curling shot that made everyone hold their breath.
In the end, Al-Nassr managed to hold on for the 2-1 win, marking their 17th victory in the league this season. They now sit in third place, eight points behind league leaders Al-Ittihad.
