VIDEO: Ronaldo scores his first assist in Saudi Arabia! Pass behind the defence sends his teammate on a breakaway

Cristiano Ronaldo was again in the starting line-up of the Saudi Arabian team Al-Nassr on Friday. This time his team played against Al-Taawon and the Portuguese scored an assist in the first half.

Although Portuguese legend and one of the best footballers in history Cristiano Ronaldo had a rather embarrassing start to his new engagement, for which he faced ridicule and criticism, he now seems to be getting back into shape.

Or at least he has acclimatised to his new surroundings, new teammates and new league. At the beginning of February, he scored his first goal against Al-Fateh when he converted a penalty. However, it should be mentioned that he gave away two more chances in that match.

In the last match, however, he made amends and scored 4 goals. He scored two goals in the first half and then in the second half, helping his team to a 4-0 victory over Al Wehda, a team from the bottom of the table.

On Friday, however, Al-Nassr faced a tougher task. Fifth-placed Al-Taawon. Ronaldo, of course, could not miss the starting line-up. Especially after scoring five times in the previous two games.

It didn’t take long for the Portuguese to make his mark in this match. In the 17th minute, he showed his game awareness and found Abdulrahman Ghareeb with a neat pass, which went through with a certain amount of luck.

It was the first ever assist for Ronaldo in his new engagement. He sent his team into a 1:0 lead. However, the score didn’t change for the rest of the first half.

But at the start of the second half, the game was level. In the 47th minute, Alvaro Medran scored.
