Times are not going well for Saudi Pro League club Al Nasr. However, as much as the success is seen, Cristiano Ronaldo is pulling all the light towards himself. This time, the Portuguese superstar reached another milestone. Ronaldo scored his 50th goal for the club on the day of Al Nasr’s victory.
Ronaldo scored the only goal as Al Nasr beat Al Ahly 1-0 in the Saudi Pro League match on Friday (March 15). At the same time, the second place in the points list became more mature. Ronaldo scored the fate of the match from the penalty in the 68th minute.
Ronaldo has been scoring since joining the Saudi Pro League. He reached 50 goals in only 58 matches. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has scored goals in Saudi Pro League, Asian Champions League, King’s Cup, Super Cup and Arab Champions Cup.
In the first half of the match, both teams gave away football. Ronaldo sent the ball into the net once in the first half in the field of Al Ahli. But the goal was not scored due to offside. Al Ahli’s Brazilian forward Roberto Firmino had a similar experience in the second half.
In the second half, both teams played desperately for goals. In the meantime, the referee gave a penalty to Al Nasr after seeing the VAR. Ronaldo confused the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the net in the opposite direction. That goal ultimately decided the fate of the match.
After this victory, Al Nasr is second in the list with 56 points in 24 matches. Al Ahli is third with 47 points in a draw. However, Al Hilal, who are at the top, are far ahead of these two teams. After playing 23 matches, the unbeaten team has 65 points.
