Al Nassr’s Dominance Continues with Ronaldo’s Spectacular Goal

omidbasir- Al Nassr maintained their impeccable performance in the Saudi Pro League by achieving a remarkable 4-1 victory over Al Khaleej on Sunday. This decisive win featured goals from Cristiano Ronaldo and several other high-profile signings from the club.

With João Félix and Sadio Mané already contributing to the scoreline, Ronaldo completed the rout in the 96th minute with a spectacular overhead kick. Defying age and physical limitations, the 40-year-old superstar soared into the air to execute a brilliantly acrobatic strike.

Although Al Khaleej goalkeeper Anthony Moris managed to get a hand on Ronaldo’s attempt, he was unable to prevent the ball from finding the back of the net.

This goal marked the 954th of Ronaldo’s illustrious career and solidified Al Nassr’s position at the top of the league, as they have now won all nine of their opening fixtures, leading by four points.

Ronaldo’s recent overhead kick added to his remarkable collection of goals, representing the fourth such effort in his extensive career. Among his most memorable overhead kicks is one from a Euro 2008 qualifier against Azerbaijan, where he executed a bicycle kick that was unfortunately disallowed due to the lack of goal-line technology at the time. Despite scoring twice in that match, he was robbed of what would have been a memorable hat trick.

Another notable acrobatic effort occurred during a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Faroe Islands, where Ronaldo executed a stunning scissor kick shortly after the match began. Just a year prior, he scored two goals in a UEFA Nations League clash against Poland, the latter of which was a powerful volley that showcased his aerial prowess.

Ronaldo’s latest overhead kick in the Saudi league has surely added to his legacy. However, the most unforgettable overhead kick in his career remains from the 2017-18 Champions League quarterfinal against Juventus, where he scored a phenomenal goal that left goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon immobile. This goal was subsequently voted the best of the tournament by UEFA.
