Ronaldo wins it for Al-Nassr with an excellent free kick

Al-Nassr started off on the losing side

but managed to come from behind in the second half to continue their spectacular unbeaten run.

With 11 wins and one draw, no one is able to challenge Cristiano Ronaldo and company in the Saudi Pro League.

The stadium was dressed up to pay tribute to the Al-Nassr star, with a tifo and a mosaic, and the former Real Madrid man did not fail the local fans.

Al-Nassr had possession of the ball in the first 45 minutes, but they were not superior to a Damak side that was very well structured and with very clear ideas.

Ronaldo scored a goal in the fifth minute, but it was disallowed for a clear offside, and beyond that move, the Al-Nassr star was missing and hardly had any chances to score.

In stoppage time, Nkoudou took advantage of a spectacular pass and scored the 0-1 to make Ronaldo despair, who went crazy asking for a foul prior to the goal.

The referee and the VAR ignored the Al-Nassr star's protests.

The second half started in the same vein as the first and Ronaldo again had a goal disallowed by the referee for a clear offside.

However, far from complaining, Al-Nassr took advantage and equalized with a great goal from a direct free kick by Talisca.

When everyone was expecting the Portuguese star to take the free-kick, the Brazilian surprised everyone by scoring to make it 1-1.

Just five minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo lived up to the home fans' spectacular tifo and became the hero by scoring the comeback goal with a magnificent direct free kick.

The goalkeeper could do little to stop the legend's free-kick, which flew into the top corner of the visitors' goal to make the score 2-1.

 

Ronaldo went from despair in the first half to ecstasy in the second half to seal his side's 12th consecutive match without defeat.
