Cristiano Ronaldo notched two outstanding goals as Al-Nassr beat Al Akhdoud

Cristiano Ronaldo continued his fine streak of form in front of the goal when he notched his 14th and 15th goals in the Saudi Pro League on Friday, November 24.

Fresh from inspiring Portugal to Euro 2024 qualification with a flawless record, Ronaldo produced an astounding moment to help Al-Nassr secure a resounding victory against lowly-placed Al Akhdoud.

While the scoreline might appear flattering, the Knights of Najd had to work their socks off to stretch their unbeaten run to an eyewatering 19 games.

Midfielder Sami Al Naji drew first blood for the Knights of Najd just 13 minutes into the match. But it proved to be the beginning of a very frustrating night for Luis Castro and his charges, who were kept at bay by a resolute Al Akhdoud defence.

But when it mattered the most, the Portuguese phenom proved why he is considered by many as the greatest goal-scorer in the history of the sport and, by extension, the greatest footballer of all time.

First, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus ace pounced on a rebound before rifling home from an almost impossible angle to double the lead for the home side in the 77th minute.

As if that was not enough, he added the icing on the cake when his lob from almost 25 yards out found the back of the net to seal all three points for the Riyadh-based powerhouse.
