"After Faïz Selemani had given Al Riyadh the lead in first-half stoppage time, Ronaldo struck twice in eight minutes in the second half to grab the three points for his side."
"His first goal arrived in the 56th minute, with the Portugal forward finishing into an open net from close range after a well-worked free-kick routine allowed Sadio Mané to find him wide open in the 6-yard box."
"It was the 40-year-old's second goal that really caught the eye, however. After a cross was cleared to the edge of the box, Ronaldo met the ball with a first-time unstoppable volley into the top corner of the goal."
"Ronaldo now has four goals in his last two games, following his double against Al Hilal last week, after what was his sixth multigoal game of the season."
Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a remarkable performance for Al Nassr, scoring two goals in a comeback win against Al Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League. After trailing due to Faïz Selemani's first-half goal, Ronaldo equalized in the second half with a close-range finish and followed up with a spectacular volley from the edge of the box. This marked Ronaldo's sixth multi-goal game this season and his fourth goal in just two matches, helping Al Nassr secure three important points while remaining third in the league, eight points behind the leaders.
