• Cristiano Ronaldo continued his scorching form in the Saudi League
• The 38-year-old bagged an assist and a goal as Al-Nassr edged Al-Tai
• His goal takes his total tally to 10 goals in as many games played this season

Cristiano Ronaldo scored and provided an assist as Al-Nassr continued their winning streak with a 2-1 victory against Al Tai.

Al-Nassr, who had already enjoyed a five-game winning run in the Saudi Pro League before facing Al Tai, relied on the brilliance of their star player to overcome the Knight of The North at the Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium on Friday evening.

Ronaldo and his teammates began the game on the front foot, continuously pressuring the opponent's goal with persistent attacks.

In the ninth minute, Ronaldo attempted an unconventional shot on goal, but it was thwarted by Victor Braga, who stood as Al Tai's goalkeeper.

Merely four minutes later, the Brazilian goalkeeper once again denied the veteran Portuguese, making an impressive save to stop Ronaldo for the second time in a brief interval.

However, Anderson Talisca capitalized on a clever pass from Cristiano, darting in to score with a superb left-foot strike just after the half-hour mark.

The 38-year-old came close to scoring again, narrowly missing the target with an effort. He persisted in causing problems for the Al Tai defence, executing a bicycle kick that led to a rebound expertly finished by Talisca. However, the goal was disallowed due to an offside decision.

Luis Castro's team maintained their offensive pressure as the second half began, but they faced a combination of excellent goalkeeping and slight dint of misfortune.

Their lead was erased when Virgil Misidjan scored an equalizer with just 11 minutes remaining, delivering an excellent low shot into the middle of the net.
