Cristiano Ronaldo proved once again that age is just a number, leading Al-Nassr to a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Al-Riyadh with a sensational brace that kept his side in the hunt for the league title.
The night started on a sour note for the home crowd at Al-Awwal Park, as Al-Riyadh found the breakthrough late in the first half, silencing the stadium just before the break.
But it took just minutes after the restart for Al-Nassr to show their intent—and for Ronaldo to make his mark.
An explosive start to the second half saw Sadio Mané pull off a dazzling run down the flank before unselfishly laying the ball off for Ronaldo, who tapped in one of the simplest goals of his legendary career to level the score. But it was what came next that sent the crowd into a frenzy.
Just eight minutes later, a dangerous cross into the box ricocheted out toward the edge of the 18-yard area.
