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

Al Nassr maintained their flawless start to the Saudi Pro League season with an impressive 4-1 victory over Al Khaleej on Sunday. The match showcased notable performances from Cristiano Ronaldo and other high-profile signings who contributed to the scoreline.

Ronaldo capped the victory in dramatic fashion during the 96th minute. Defying his age, the 40-year-old superstar executed a remarkable overhead kick, adding flair to the win. Although Al Khaleej goalkeeper Anthony Moris managed to get two hands on the attempt, it was insufficient to prevent the ball from finding the back of the net.

This goal marked the 954th of Ronaldo’s illustrious career, ensuring Al Nassr continues to lead the league by four points, having won all nine of their opening matches.

Ronaldo’s acrobatic strike was the fourth overhead kick in his extensive career. Among his memorable efforts was a remarkable bicycle kick scored for Portugal in a Euro 2008 qualifier against Azerbaijan, which was unfortunately disallowed due to officiating errors at the time. He scored two goals in that match, but was denied a hat trick.

In a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier, Ronaldo also exhibited his skill with a stunning scissor kick, demonstrating his ability to score spectacular goals. Last year, he netted two goals for Portugal during a 5-1 victory against Poland, with one being a close-range volley.

However, the most iconic overhead kick of Ronaldo’s career was undoubtedly during the 2017-18 Champions League quarterfinals, where he scored a breathtaking goal against Juventus. This strike earned him UEFA’s accolade for the best goal of the tournament, further solidifying his legacy in football history.
