Cristiano Ronaldo scores stunning 40-YARD LOB in Al-Nassr’s 3-0 victory over Al-Akhdoud as the Portugal star grabs a brace in the Saudi League

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a brilliant 40-yard lob as the Portuguese star’s brace helped Al-Nassr secure a 3-0 win at home against Al-Akhdoud.

Ronaldo returned to action after international duty with Portugal and impressed as he led his side to victory.

A goal from Sami Al-Naji had given Al-Nassr the lead in the 13th minute in the Saudi Pro League match.

Al-Nassr had to wait until the 77th minute to make it 2-0, with Ronaldo impressively controlling the ball before taking a touch to create space for himself and then finding the net from a difficult angle.

Ronaldo’s second goal and Al-Nassr’s third were even more impressive, as he took advantage of Al-Akhdoud goalkeeper Paulo Vitor being off his line and finding the net from distance with an excellent lob.

Ronaldo scored two goals for Al-Nassr, with his second goal being an excellently executed lob

After their victory, Al-Nassr are in second place in the Saudi Pro League, one point behind leaders Al-Hilal, who have a game in hand when they host Al-Hazm away from home on Saturday.

Ronaldo’s support continued his excellent season so far – he has now scored fifteen goals in thirteen league appearances.

In Al-Nassr’s next match, they will play Persepolis in the AFC Champions League on Monday. They then return to the league with an away match against Al-Hilal, which should be an entertaining encounter.

Former Liverpool winger Sadio Mane was an unused substitute for Al-Nassr against Al-Akhdoud after returning from international duty with Senegal.

Ronaldo’s first goal of the match was also of high quality, scoring from a difficult angle
