Cristiano Ronaldo produced a breathtaking moment of brilliance to secure Al Nassr’s ninth consecutive win in the Saudi Pro League, scoring a stunning 96th‑minute bicycle kick that sealed a 4–1 triumph over Al Khaleej.

With the game balanced after Al Khaleej’s 77th‑minute equalizer, Ronaldo latched onto a precise cross from Nawaf Buwashal, launching himself into an acrobatic overhead strike that thundered past goalkeeper Fawaz Fallatah.

The 40‑year‑old Portuguese icon, now on 10 league goals this season and 954 career strikes, celebrated by cupping his ears to the roaring Al‑Aqsa Stadium crowd before playfully donning a cap handed to him by teammate Salem Al‑Dawsari.

Al Nassr had dominated the first half, racing to a 3–0 lead through Sadio Mané’s opener in the 18th minute, a curling effort from João Félix in the 35th, and a header from Wesley Teixeira four minutes later. Al Khaleej pulled one back via Fábio Martins, but Ronaldo’s late genius ensured the points stayed in Riyadh.

Manager Jorge Jesus hailed his captain’s decisive impact, declaring: “Cristiano is timeless—his hunger wins games.”

The victory keeps Al Nassr atop the table with 27 points from nine matches, firmly in the title race.
