Al Nassr Triumphs with Ronaldo’s Spectacular Overhead Kick

omidbasir- Al Nassr maintained their perfect start to the Saudi Pro League season with an impressive 4-1 victory over Al Khaleej on Sunday. This commanding performance saw stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, João Félix, and Sadio Mané contributing to the scoreline.

Ronaldo capped off the match dramatically in the 96th minute, showcasing his timeless athleticism with a remarkable overhead kick. Despite Al Khaleej goalkeeper Anthony Moris managing to make contact with the ball, he could not prevent it from finding the net.

This goal marked Ronaldo’s 954th career goal, further solidifying Al Nassr’s lead at the top of the league, as they now sit four points clear after winning all nine of their opening fixtures. This overhead kick also marked the fourth of its kind in Ronaldo’s illustrious career, adding to his impressive collection of acrobatic goals.

Among his notable overhead kicks is a disallowed goal from a Euro 2008 qualifier against Azerbaijan in 2006, where Ronaldo executed a stunning bicycle kick that was erroneously ruled out due to the lack of goal-line technology at the time. He did manage to score two goals in that match, leading to a 3-0 victory for Portugal.

Another memorable moment occurred during a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Faroe Islands, where Ronaldo’s exquisite scissor kick contributed to a 5-1 win.

In the previous year, he scored twice in a UEFA Nations League match against Poland, one of which was a leaping volley that showcased his skill and agility.

The pinnacle of Ronaldo’s overhead kicks came during the 2017-18 Champions League quarterfinal against Juventus, where he executed a breathtaking overhead strike that secured a 3-0 win for Real Madrid. This goal was later honored as the best of the tournament by UEFA.
