Despite Al Akhdoud trailing by just a goal and maintaining a semblance of hope, their aspirations were dashed by two remarkable goals from the seasoned Portuguese player.

Ronaldo, initially quiet in the match, swiftly turned the tables with two pivotal moments as the game progressed, per Livescore.

His first goal displayed unparalleled finesse as the 38-year-old expertly controlled a lofted pass before hammering the ball home at the near post.

However, it was his second strike that truly stole the show—a sensational long-range shot chipped over a stranded goalkeeper, caught out of position.

Speaking to the press post-game, the 48-year-old coach showered Cristiano with praise, emphasizing the sheer quality of his goals, particularly highlighting the exceptional nature of his second goal in the match.

“Cristiano [Ronaldo] has very high quality, and with the third goal with a touch alone, he was able to put it into the goal, and this is Cristiano, and this is his usual quality, even though he is 38 years old,” Sevela said as quoted by TimelineCR7.
