Ronaldo nets brace as Al Nassr defeat Al Ahli 4-3

Al Nassr striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, netted a brace as they beat Al Ahli 4-3 in a thrilling affair on Friday.

Ronaldo scored early in both halves of the Saudi Pro League clash to bookend the scoring.

Al Nassr managed to stave off multiple comeback attempts from their fellow star-studded opponents.

The Portugal great opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a low left-footed shot after being found by ex-Liverpool forward Sadio Mané. He then got Al Nassr’s fourth goal in the 52nd minute with another clinical finish on his left foot following a neat turn on the edge of the penalty box.

In between, Brazilian forward Anderson Talisca scored two goals of his own in the first half, the first from the penalty spot and the second with a stunning strike off the underside of the crossbar.
