He then launched a long-range shot from a distance of nearly 20 meters, sending the ball flying straight into the net. Goalkeeper Marwan Al-Haidari had any chance to save.

In the 58th minute, Ronaldo once again shined with a pass for Aymeric Laporte  to tap the ball into an empty net to score a 2-0 victory for Al Nassr.
