Cristiano Ronaldo scored from an incredible bicycle kick to help Al Nassr to a 4-1 win over Al Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League on Sunday (November 23).
Al Nassr were up 3-1 and well on their way to winning when Nawaf Al-Boushal put up a lofty cross that Ronaldo latched onto for a spectacular leaping goal to seal it for the home side.
After an earlier Joao Felix goal was disallowed, the Portuguese international was finally on target at in the 39th minute to put Al Nassr on the board.
Just three minutes later, Joao Felix left his mark again when he fed the ball to Wesely, who quickly doubled their lead.
Al Khaleej got on the board just two minutes into the second half with a stellar effort by midfielder Murad Al-Hawsai.
Al Nassr midfielder Ali Al-Hassan had a nice shot deflected by the goalkeeper and cleared by a defender, but Nawaf Al-Boushal partnered up with Sadio Mane to score off the rebound to make it 3-1 with less than 15 minutes in regulation.
Ronaldo’s jaw-dropper came six minutes into stoppage time as the Riyadh-based team marched to a comfortable 4-1 win.
Al Nassr top the Saudi Pro League table with 27 points from nine games, four ahead of Al Hilal in second with Al Taawoun in third on 22 points.
