Cristiano Ronaldo nets first goal for Al Nassr to snatch 2-2 draw and to help Al Nassr move back top of the table. | Match Details
In a thrilling Saudi Pro League match on Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal for Al Nassr with a last-gasp penalty to salvage a 2-2 draw at Al Fateh. The 37-year-old Portugal international, a five-times Ballon D’Or winner, had failed to score on his debut last month.
Al Fateh squandered the lead twice, as Cristian Tello opened the scoring 12 minutes into his debut. Talisca also got his name on the scoresheet, levelling the scores in the 42nd minute and Sofiane Bendebka made it 2-1 before the hour mark.
Al Nassr were awarded a penalty kick in added time, with Talisca, who is their regular penalty taker, handing the ball to Ronaldo. The Portuguese forward convert from the spot.
Al Nassr now top the standings after 15 games with 34 points, which are the same points with second-placed Al Shabab. They will play against Al Wehda Mecca in the next Saudi Professional League game.
