Cristiano Ronaldo Shines Again as Al Nassr Maintains Perfect Start in Saudi Pro League

omidbasir- Al Nassr continued their flawless start to the Saudi Pro League season with an impressive 4-1 victory over Al Khaleej on Sunday. The match featured goals from several notable signings, including Cristiano Ronaldo, who capped off the win in emphatic style.

Ronaldo, defying age at 40, executed a remarkable overhead kick in the 96th minute, further emphasizing his extraordinary skill. Despite Al Khaleej goalkeeper Anthony Moris getting a hand to the shot, it was not enough to prevent the ball from finding the back of the net.

This goal marked the 954th of Ronaldo’s illustrious career, helping Al Nassr to maintain a perfect record by winning all nine of their opening league fixtures, leaving them four points clear at the top of the table.

The acrobatic strike also added to Ronaldo’s extensive collection of spectacular goals, ranking as the fourth overhead kick in his storied career. One notable near-miss occurred during a Euro 2008 qualifier against Azerbaijan, where a stunning bicycle kick was disallowed due to the lack of goal-line technology.

Another memorable moment came in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier, where Ronaldo executed a scissor kick to score within minutes of the match against the Faroe Islands. Additionally, he netted a leaping volley against Poland in the UEFA Nations League, showcasing his enduring prowess on the field.

However, the most iconic overhead kick of Ronaldo’s career remains the one scored during the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League quarterfinal against Juventus. This exhilarating goal was recognized as the best of the tournament, further solidifying Ronaldo’s legacy in football.
