Cristiano Ronaldo proved age is just a number (again!) as he fired Al Nassr to a decisive 3-1 win over Al Kholood, propelling the club to third place in the Saudi Pro League. The 40-year-old superstar netted his 19th league goal this season within *four minutes*—think of it as hitting 'skip intro' on a Netflix show and jumping straight to the action!
New signing Jhon Duran turned heads with a thunderbolt goal from outside the box, while Sadio Mane cashed in on Ronaldo’s slick assist. Talk about a power trio! The Colombian striker, fresh from Aston Villa, now has 7 goals in 9 games—an instant fan favorite.
Al Nassr’s first win in three matches keeps them in the title chase, though they trail leaders Al Ittihad by 10 points with nine games left. Cue the dramatic season finale music! Will Ronaldo’s squad close the gap? Stay tuned.
