Cristiano Ronaldo lit up Al-Awwal Park on Sunday night with a sensational bicycle-kick goal as Al Nassr cruised to a 4–1 victory over Al Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League. The 40-year-old star saved his best for last, converting a perfectly floated cross from Boushal in stoppage time to seal the win and extend Al Nassr’s unbeaten run.
Ronaldo, Sadio Mané and João Félix were all on the scoresheet in Riyadh, with the Portuguese captain sealing the victory with an acrobatic bicycle kick that brought fans at Al-Awwal Park to their feet.
Al-Nassr came into the Matchday 10 fixture with eight wins from eight, and they wasted no time asserting dominance. Félix thought he had opened the scoring in the 33rd minute before VAR ruled it out for a handball by Marcelo Brozović. The breakthrough came moments later when Angelo’s cross found Félix, who finished calmly for the opener.
Wesley doubled the lead shortly after, capitalising on Félix’s high pressing to punish Al-Khaleej inside their own box.
The visitors briefly threatened a comeback early in the second half when Murad Al-Hawsawi fired home to make it 2–1. But Al-Nassr regained control, and Mané restored the two-goal cushion with a clever lob past goalkeeper Anthony Moris.
The match ended in frustration for Al-Khaleej when Dimitrios Kourbelis received a straight red card for a dangerous stamp on Ali Al-Hassan. Ronaldo then delivered the moment of the night—meeting Nawaf Boushal’s cross with a spectacular bicycle kick to seal Al-Nassr’s ninth win in nine games.
Al-Nassr remain top of the table, boasting 30 goals scored and just five conceded this season. Félix and Ronaldo now sit joint-top of the scoring chart with 10 goals each.
