Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal and provided an assist as the Knights of Najd defeated Al Khaleej at Al-Awwal Park on Saturday night, maintaining Al-Nassr’s winning streak.

After ending a brief goal drought, the 38-year-old scored the first goal and then set up Aymeric Laporte, a former Manchester City defender, to help Al-Nassr win 2-0.

With a perfect record of 15 wins in a row in all competitions, Al-Nassr started the match strong, controlling possession and relentlessly attacking the Al Khaleej box.

Sadio Mane’s ability to get the ball in the back of the net in just ten minutes did not come as a surprise. Nevertheless, his happiness—and the home crowd’s as well—was fleeting when a VAR review chopped off the goal.

That won’t stop Luis Castro’s team, who persevered like a house on fire to score the first goal. When it did, it was scored spectacularly through the feet of none other than the team’s talisman, Cristiano Ronaldo.

In the 26th minute, the Portuguese sensation scored a goal with a pile driver after taking a touch and sizing himself up. Abdulrahman Ghareeb, a Saudi international, replaced Anderson Talisca due to suspension.
