Ronaldo’s first league goal in his third appearance

Kriralok Desk: The five time Ballon d’Or winner is one of soccer’s most prolific goal scorers in the whole world. Surprisingly for a player who is usually so lethal in front of goal, it has taken the forward longer than many expected for him to find the net with his new club Al Nassr.  

On Friday the 37-year-old finally scored his first league goal. It was his third appearance for the Saudi Arabian side. He literally wanted to break the draw of a 2-2 match at Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League.

Al Nassr was awarded the penalty three minutes into added time and Ronaldo stepped up to convert from the spot. The Portuguese superstar had missed a great chance earlier in the game. He also had an effort ruled out for offside in the first half and hit the woodwork.

Later, Ronaldo didn’t forget to post it on social media. He wrote, “Happy to have scored my first goal in the Saudi league and great effort by whole team to achieve an important draw in a very difficult match!”

Al Nassr leads the league after 15 games, level on 34 points with second-placed Al Shabab but with a match in hand.

The highest paid superstar was officially unveiled by his new club last month. According to Saudi state-owned media, Ronaldo will earn an estimated $200 million a year with Al Nassr.
