Ronaldo showcased his brilliance by widening the gap between the teams with an extraordinary goal from an improbable angle in the 77th minute. This doubled the lead for Luis Castro's squad, who had initially taken the lead through midfielder Sami Al Naji in the first half.

According to GOAL, the Portuguese superstar's unmatched skill was on full display as he flawlessly controlled a lofted pass with an audacious first touch, smashing the ball home at the near post.

Within moments, he further dashed the visitors' hopes with an exceptional long-range strike that sailed over the out-of-position goalkeeper, securing a definitive win for the Riyadh-based giants, per talkSPORT.

This triumph extends Al-Nassr's unbeaten streak to an impressive 19 games across all competitions while also narrowing the gap between them and league leaders Al-Hilal to just one point despite having played an extra game.

Post-match, Cristiano shared a heartwarming message on social media, spreading joy with a spirited "Happy weekend, everyone!" adorned with an excited emoji and affectionate love emoticons in Al-Nassr's distinctive colours.
