The Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo rescued his Saudi team, Al-Nassr, from the setback that befell it at the beginning of the new season, and succeeded in leading it to victory against Al-Fayhaa, 4-0, with a single goal, today, Tuesday, in the second round of the Saudi Roshan League 2024-2025.
That victory comes after opening the season by losing the Diriyah Cup title to the Saudi Super League, then tying with Al-Raed with a goal for each team in the first round of the Roshan League.
Focusing on the Al-Alami leader’s performance in the match, he applied the saying “the situation is always impossible” completely in the match, and between the first half and the second half his situation turned upside down..
Fast imprint...but the flip is also fast!
The imprint of the Madeira missile in the match only needed five minutes after the opening whistle to appear..
In that minute, Al Don set up Al-Alamy's goal for his Brazilian teammate Anderson Talisca with a short pass inside the penalty area, followed by the latter with a shot into the goal.
However, in the 22nd minute, Ronaldo wasted a great effort. He ran with the ball from the middle of the field until he reached inside the 18 after the penalty point, but very strangely, he finally shot the ball against the post.
Had it not been for the assistant referee raising his flag, declaring an offside opportunity, the Don would have continued to lament his luck over losing it after all he had put into it.
As for his most amazing shot in the match, it was witnessed in stoppage time in the first half, as Talisca got a free kick inside the 18th zone, which Cristiano executed with a direct shot on goal in a more than wonderful way, announcing the second goal in the match.
But the situation changed in the second half, and the Don was not successful, as he wasted an opportunity from “Ruhin”; The first shot it into the body of the goalkeeper while he was completely facing the goal, and the second the ball passed in front of his feet very strangely, so he kicked the air instead.
Continuing the bad luck in the second half, in the 60th minute of the match Chris missed the opportunity to raise his scoring tally to 900 goals after he shot the ball over the crossbar very strangely while he was alone with the goalkeeper.
In numbers... What did Ronaldo do against Al-Fayhaa?
The global captain participated in the entire match from the beginning, and other than the goal he scored and the other he made, he created an opportunity for his teammates, which was not exploited.
The Don took seven shots, including three on goal, and wasted the chance of a clear goal.
Chris did not do any dribbling, and he only entered one duel, in which he excelled, and similar aerial tackles, and he did not lose any ball.
