Penalty goal saves a draw: Ronaldo scores for Al-Nassr for the first time after a series of missed shots

Cristiano Ronaldo is the superstar of the Saudi Arabian league and his move to Al-Nassr is causing a lot of hype. Only goals remain somewhere on the track. Now the Portuguese redeems himself in his third competitive game. However, only after numerous setbacks.

Soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has finally scored his first goal for his new club Al-Nassr in his third competitive game. The 37-year-old Portuguese converted a penalty kick against Al-Fateh in the second minute of added time to make it 2-2 and secured a point for the title contenders. “I’m glad to have scored my first goal in the Saudi league. And to the great performance of the whole team, which managed to achieve an important draw in a very difficult game,” Ronaldo wrote on Instagram.

Before that, things weren’t going well for Ronaldo, he had to accept several disappointments. A goal by the striker in the 24th minute was disallowed for offside, as he complained he did not want to admit it. However, the offside position was indisputable. He missed a great opportunity in the 35th minute when he fired the ball wide of the goal from the penalty area after a shot against the post that bounced back into the field.

Former La Liga pro Tello, who once played for Real Betis and FC Barcelona, ??put Al-Fateh ahead in the 12th minute, while Brazilian Talisca equalized for Ronaldo’s team in the 42nd minute. The Portuguese was unlucky as he could have given his side the lead just before half-time, but his left-footed shot from 11 yards hit the bar.

But then Ronaldo redeemed himself and his team with a penalty kick in added time. Spicy: Talisca, who was the appropriate penalty taker, actually grabbed the ball, but then gave it to the new captain. Ronaldo picked up a yellow card just before the end of the game after colliding with opponent Al-Daheem.

Ronaldo switched to Al-Nassr in the winter, where he signed a contract for two and a half years. According to media reports, including advertising revenue, he should get the equivalent of around 200 million euros per season.
