Cristiano Ronaldo led his team Al-Nassr to a 4-3 win against Al-Ahli with a brace. But his opening goal caused controversy.
Edouard Mendy probably didn’t see that coming! The star keeper from Al-Ahli, the club of ex-Salzburg coach Matthias Jaissle, had to reach behind him for the first time in the fourth minute of the 3-4 defeat against Al-Nassr. And that after a controversial scene.

Because Sadio Mane used Ronaldo, who simply took off. And the goal scored. The only problem was that when the 38-year-old Portuguese finished, the visitors’ goal was covered in thick smoke and Mendy could hardly see the ball. On the other hand, the case itself was extremely difficult to see. Ronaldo still scored. The five-time world footballer demonstrated his instinct for goal and simply took the shot.

In any case, the hit is being eagerly discussed on social networks. Some applauded Ronaldo’s goal because it was difficult for the Portuguese to see where he was aiming, while others insisted that the game should have been whistled.
Ronaldo with his second goal (52nd), the ninth goal of the season in the sixth league game, and Talisca with a brace (17th, 45+6th) sealed the 4-3 victory. Franck Kessie (30th), Riyad Mahres from the penalty spot (50th) and Firas al-Buraikan (87th) scored for Al-Ahli.
After their fifth win from seven games, Al-Nassr is currently in fifth place in the table, level on points with the Jaissle team. Al-Ittihad remains at the top of the table with six wins.
