Cristiano Ronaldo has completely arrived in Saudi Arabia. The 37-year-old has had six goals in the last two games.
The Portuguese led his neo-club Al-Nassr to a 2-1 home win over Al-Taawon on matchday 17 of the Saudi Pro League with two notable assists.
Also in his fifth competitive game, Ronaldo leads the capital city as captain on the field. The 37-year-old scored his first highlight on Friday evening in the 17th minute. After winning the ball, Al-Nassr quickly switches. Ronaldo plays a perfectly timed ball from his own half into the interface on Ghareeb, who converts the ball safely into goal.
Al-Nassr back to the top
Shortly after half-time, Al-Taawon leveled the game with a goal from Medran (47′).
With just under a quarter of an hour to go, the home side go ahead again. After a corner, ex-Bayern player Luiz Gustavo pulls from around 15 meters. Ronaldo stands in front of the goal and puts the ball, which could possibly have gone outside the goal, onto the better positioned Madu, who slides into the empty goal from a few meters (78th).
It is Ronaldo’s sixth goal involvement in two games and his first two assists at his new club following last week’s four-goal. Al-Nassr jumps back to the top of the table with the three.
