Al Nassr 2-0 Al Khaleej: Cristiano Ronaldo stars as Al Nassr reduce gap…
Ronaldo set a new record when he started the scoring for Al Nassr. Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 400th goal since turning 30 in a 2-0 Saudi Pro League win for Al Nassr. On Saturday, the Portuguese Ballon d’Or winner scored a magnificent opening goal in his team’s triumph over Al Khaleej.
In the 26th minute, the 38-year-old scooped up the ball on the edge of the penalty area and turned his marker. He was left on the ground when the Portugal forward feigned shooting. The former Manchester United and Real Madrid player took a touch to position himself up before blasting into the roof of the net from just outside the penalty area.
Ronaldo’s goal was his 12th league goal of the season, putting him ahead of Aleksandar Mitrovic, who joined Al Hilal from Fulham in August. The performance allowed Al-Nassr climb to second place in the league, four points behind Al-Hilal. Laporte and Ronaldo will be back in action in the AFC Champions League on Tuesday, November 7 when Al-Nassr takes on Al-Duhail.
