In the 16th minute of the game, a mistake from Al-Khaleej goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic saw the 39-year-old gain possession of the ball. Ronaldo, with his back to goal, walloped a left-footed volley into the back of the net to open the scoring. The instincts and capability of finishing the extremely difficult chance were praised thoroughly on social media.
One user wrote: “What a finish. Class is so permanent. Could still do that at 70,” while another claimed: “99% of strikers can’t do that and he does that still is insane.”
A third fan crowned the Portugal captain as “the greatest to ever play.” Cristiano Ronaldo grabbed a second goal in the 3-1 win and also gave up the opportunity to bag a hat-trick after offering Sadio Mane the chance to take a penalty in the first half, as the ex-Liverpool star netted from 12 yards. Al Nassr can move within six points of their title rivals this weekend as they travel to Al Awwal Park to take on Al-Wehda on Saturday (May 4).
