Cristiano Ronaldo scores a stunning freekick in Al Nassr win over Al-Fayha

Ronaldo was back to making waves on the pitch as he starred in Al Nassr’s first league win of the season

Cristiano Ronaldo showed that he was still as much a star on the pitch as on YouTube, guiding Al Nassr to their first win of the new Saudi Pro League season.

Ronaldo was on the scoresheet and provided an assist as a goal from Marcelo Brozovic and a brace from Anderson Talisca helped Al Nassr to convincing 4-1 win away to Al Fayha, whose consolation goal was netted by Zambian forward Fashion Sakala.

The Portuguese superstar, who continues to shatter YouTube records less than a week after joining the platform, was the star of the show as Al Nassr hammered Al-Fayha 4-1 away from home to record their move to four points on the table after a draw in their opening Saudi Pro League game.

Ronaldo provided the assist for the opening goal as Anderson Talisca broke the deadlock for Al Nassr after only five minutes, before getting on the scoresheet himself with a brilliant freekick to double the lead on the stroke of halftime.

Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic added a third late on after benefiting from Sadio Mane’s assist before Fashion Sakala scored a consolation goal for Al-Fayha with hardly any time left on the clock.

Brazilian forward Talisca still found time to complete his brace however, scoring his second goal of the match in the fifth minute of second-half additional time to seal a comfortable 4-1 win for the visitors.

The win leaves Al Nassr with four points from two matches, and second on the table with other teams waiting to play their second games of the new Saudi Pro League season.
