2 assists, a win and first place in the table. This is how Ronaldo helped his team to an important three points

Al-Nassr took part in the 17th round of the Saudi Arabia’s top competition on Friday, and star captain Cristiano Ronaldo was also in the starting line-up. He helped his team to an important win and first place in the table.

Cristiano Ronaldo is getting into shape. He has been looking for a while in his new job, but he has played more than his fair share of the last three games for Al-Nassr.

He opened his goal account in the new league when he converted a penalty to help the team draw 2-2 against Al-Fateh. However, he also wasted chances in that match.

The penalty certainly gave Ronaldo confidence and calmness, which he proved in the next league game. The opponent from the bottom of the Saudi Arabian league table, Al Wehda, scored four goals.

He scored two goals in the first half and added two more in the second half. The match ended 4-0.

And Ronaldo wanted to confirm his good form against Al-Taawon. In the 17th minute of the match he helped with a good pass behind the defence to score the first goal, sending Abdulrahman Ghareeb on a breakaway.

It was Ronaldo’s first assist in his new engagement and he didn’t stop at just one. Fortunately for Al-Nassr, as Al-Taawon equalised in the second half to make it 1-1.

Ronaldo scored his second assist in the 78th minute, but it was a long wait to confirm it. The goal was initially disallowed due to an alleged offside by the Portuguese star. However, Ronaldo requested a video review and after about nine minutes of examination, the goal was conceded.

This time, Abdullah Madu scored the goal.

Ronaldo did very well in the match. He was attacking a lot, he was also involved in the defensive. He was a true leader, helping Al-Nassr not only to win 2-1, but also to top the table.
