Cristiano Ronaldo strikes again. With Al Nassr deep into their title fight, his side needed him to turn up more than ever, and that's exactly what their star signing did.
On the 52nd minute, after the visitors won a penalty, the Portuguese man calmly stepped up to fire into the bottom left hand corner, leaving the keeper no chance, despite diving the right way.
Ronaldo was joined on the scoreboard by teammate Anderson Talisca late on after the Brazilian netted on the 80th minute mark, sending the Al Nassr fans into delirium.
This result may prove vital to the Saudi side in the title race. They are now five points behind leaders Al Ittihad, but with three games left. This means it is still possible for the Portuguese forward to be crowned with the Saudi top flight in his first season in the Middle East.
