Portugal's star Cristiano Ronaldo, in an emphatic manner, took his club Al Nassr to a come-from-behind victory with his score-leveling free-kick goal against Abha in a Saudi Pro League match. It was Ronaldo's first home goal for the club and ninth overall.
Ronaldo's goal came in the 78th minute of the match when Al Nassr where looking at a stunning defeat at their home ground. Abha's Abdulfattah had taken Abha 1-0 up in the first half only and before Ronaldo's goal, the game was looking done and dusted for Al Nassr.
The Portugal star, however, had different plans for the day as he scored one of his trademark free-kick goals to get the scores level at 1-1. Inspired by Ronaldo, his teammate Talisca scored five minutes later to take Al Nassr 2-1 in the game, a lead which stayed till the end of the game.
Have a look at Ronaldo's stunner here:
The win also ensured second place for Al Nassr in the points table behind table-toppers Al Ittihad. The difference, however, between the points of Al Nassar and Al Ittihadis just of a point.
