The 37-year-old was very demanding on the playing field, but luck and the interventions of the opposing goalkeeper denied him the goal.
Even the VAR system intervened at one point, catching him offside. Meanwhile, the other attempts went either on the crossbar or outside the box, tiring Ronaldo quite a bit, who was also punished with a yellow card in this challenge.
However, having broken free and found the way to the net, Ronaldo now promises more goals in an Al Nassr shirt, with the fans demanding more from him.
