Cristiano Ronaldo proved he’s still got the magic ✨, scoring twice to inspire Al-Nassr’s 2-1 comeback victory over Al-Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner brought the heat to the second half, turning the game around with his signature flair 🔥.
First Half Frustration
Al-Riyadh stunned the home crowd just before halftime when Faiz Selemani pounced on a rebound to put his side ahead 😬. But the real show began after the break ⏳.
CR7 Takes Over
Ronaldo leveled the score with a clinical finish off Sadio Mané’s clever assist ⚡. Then, he delivered a highlight-reel moment—a rocket volley into the top corner that left fans (and defenders) speechless 😲💥. His 18th and 19th league goals this season!
Nail-Biting Finish
Al-Riyadh nearly equalized late when substitute Enes Sali hit the post, but Al-Nassr held firm 💪. The win keeps them third in the league, still chasing leaders Al-Ittihad 🏆.
Ronaldo: still changing games. Bet you didn’t see that coming 👀?
