The match is part of round 5 of the 2025-2026 Saudi Arabian National Championship. In the 59th minute, Al-Nassr was awarded a penalty after the away team's defender touched the ball. Ronaldo took responsibility for the implementation, but his shot into the right corner was excellently blocked by goalkeeper Amin Al Bukhari.
This was the second time in a week that the Portuguese superstar missed a penalty, after missing a match between Portugal and Ireland in the World Cup qualifiers.
Just a minute later, Ronaldo made up for his mistake with a classy move. He received the ball on the left wing, skillfully dribbling past and then fired a long shot as if with a hammer, pointing the hook into the top corner of the goal. According to statistics, the probability of this shot scoring is only about 2%, showing the difficulty and superb technique of the striker born in 1985.
The goal helped Al-Nassr take a 2-1 lead and opened an explosive game. In the second half, Ronaldo also assisted Joao Felix to score a hat-trick, while Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman also contributed greatly to the victory. At the end of the match, Ronaldo was rated 8.2 points, ranking 4th in the squad.
Winning 5-1, Al-Nassr consolidated their top spot in the Saudi Arabian national championship with 15 absolute points, creating a 4-point gap with Al-Hilal and a 5-point gap with Al-Ittihad. In the next match, Al-Nassr will visit Goa (India) in the AFC Champions League 2 on October 22.
