VIDEO: Cristiano Ronaldo scores the weirdest goal of his career so far? Edouard Mendy didn’t even see his shot in the haze of smoke

Cristiano Ronaldo showed his indispensability to his team in a thrilling encounter against Al Ahli as he secured an important victory for Al Nassr with two goals. His first goal in particular went viral on social media. In fact, Edouard Mendy probably didn’t even see his shot in the smoky haze.

Al Nassr is showing great form after a botched league opener

Even at 38 years old, Nassr is still showing an unquenchable appetite for scoring goals. He added two more in yesterday’s league match, securing an all-important victory for his team. The first goal then became a hit on social media.

The botched start to the league season seems to be a thing of the past, with Al Nassr starting to run like clockwork. Six wins in a row proves its great form and the club from the capital Riyadh wanted to add another one in yesterday’s home game against Al Ahli.

In particular, the club’s biggest star Cristiano Ronaldo has been a huge part of his team’s success. He is showing incredible shooting form in the new season, which he confirmed in yesterday’s game.

The Portuguese star opened the scoring against Al Ahli in the fourth minute, taking advantage of a precise pass from his strike partner Mané. This particular goal is perhaps the strangest goal of his career and became instantly viral on social media.

The credit goes mainly to Ronaldo, who scored perhaps the strangest goal of his career

This is because the Portuguese cannonballer’s cross-shot was lost in a haze of smoke from the pyrotechnics used by the home fans. Even from the reaction of former Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, it’s clear he probably didn’t see much of it. However, it is quite possible that he was angry with his teammate, who punishingly lost the ball in midfield.

The game continued at a terrific pace as Talisca increased the home side’s lead by two goals less than a quarter of an hour later. Although Franck Kessie reduced the lead after half an hour, Talisca sent Al Nassr back into a two-goal lead before going into the booths.

The attractive spectacle continued after the change of sides. After five minutes, the visiting team’s biggest star Riyad Mahrez reduced the deficit. He converted the penalty kick with ease.

But after two minutes, Cristiano Ronaldo scored again for the second time in the match, splitting the net with his left foot from outside the box. Three minutes before the end of regulation time, the visitors reduced the deficit again. However, the scoreline remained unchanged and Al Nassr took an important win.

Another great performance by Ronaldo helped the team to its seventh consecutive victory. He scored his ninth goal in six league games and added four assists. Al Nassr are fifth in the Saudi Pro League table and are now only three points behind leaders Al Ittihad.
