Cristiano Ronaldo made a triumphant return from illness, scoring a goal as Al Nassr cruised to a 2-0 victory against Al Wehda in the Saudi Pro League 2024-25 season. The match, held at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, saw Al Nassr dominate from the start.
Angelo Gabriel, the young Brazilian winger, put Al Nassr ahead in the 41st minute with a truly exceptional strike. He burst down the right flank, showcasing impressive speed, and chipped a perfectly placed shot over the goalkeeper. The initial intention appeared to be a cross, but Gabriel’s precision proved otherwise, sending the ball into the back of the net.
Ronaldo, making his comeback after recovering from illness, doubled Al Nassr’s lead in the 56th minute. A foul on Sultan Al-Ghannam inside the box earned Al Nassr a penalty, and Ronaldo calmly converted from the spot.
The win propelled Al Nassr to second place in the Saudi Pro League table with 11 points from five matches. Al Wehda, on the other hand, remains in fourteenth position with four points from the same number of games.
Ronaldo’s return and Al Nassr’s dominant performance are positive signs for the team as they continue their pursuit of the league title.
