It’s not a typical Cristiano Ronaldo freekick as the former Manchester United forward took a couple of steps before curling the ball past the Al-Feiha shot-stopper. Ronaldo found the net in the last game but Al Nassr played out a 1-1 draw with Al-Raed.
Riding on Ronaldo's brilliance Al Nassr secured their first win of the season as they thrashed Al-Feiha 4-1 at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraydah on Tuesday. Anderson Talisca scored a brace while Marcelo Brozovic netted the fourth goal for Al-Nassr.
The 39 year old is now just one goal shy from registering 900 career goals and will be the first footballer on the planet to do so. This strike also marked Ronaldo's 64th career freekick and he is just one behind from equalling former Manchester United midfielder David Beckham's record.
Ronaldo's current contract with Al-Nassr ends up next summer and the talismanic striker recently insisted he wants to career at the club.
"I don't know if I will retire soon, in two or three years… but probably I will retire here at Al Nassr.
"I'm very happy at this club, I feel good in this country too. I'm happy to play in Saudi Arabia and I want to continue."
Ronaldo found the net in the first Saudi Pro League game of te season against Al Raed, following a disappointing loss at the hands of Al Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup final. In an attempt to win the Saudi Pro League golden boot for a second consecutive season, the 39-year-old has now found himself on the scoresheet once more.
Al-Nassr will now face now Al-Ahli Saudi in their next Saudi Pro League clash on September 13.
