• Cristiano Ronaldo notched a late winner against Al-Tai
• His strike ensured Al-Nassr stretched their winning streak to six games in the SPL
• Up next for Ronaldo and his teammates is a tie against Istiqlol Dushanbe

Cristiano Ronaldo deflected praise by congratulating his teammates on the back of their 2-1 win against Al-Tai on Friday, September 29.

Ronaldo, for the umpteenth time, proved to be the clutch performer for Al-Nassr, scoring an 87th-minute penalty that extended the Knights of Najd's winning streak.

Despite a challenging and frustrating outing at the Prince Abdul Aziz bin Musa'ed Stadium, during which excellent goalkeeping by Al Tai's Victor Braga and a touch of bad luck denied him a goal, the 38-year-old remained resilient.

When the crucial moment arrived, the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus ace stepped forward to convert the penalty, restoring his team's lead, Sportstar reports.

"Another important victory and 9 wins in a row!" he wrote on the X App (formerly called Twitter).

"Well done Team! Let’s keep the good work!"
