Ronaldo scored twice, bringing Al Nassr into the King Cup final

In the 17th minute, the away team's goalkeeper Ibrahim Sehic came out of the goal, cleared the ball to Ayman Yahya, and it bounced not far. Ronaldo ran after it, in the opposite direction of the goal, then turned and volleyed with his left foot from the edge of the penalty area, sending the ball flying into the empty net to open the scoring. But even if he had been closer to the goal, Sehic still could not have saved the goal.

Ronaldo scored twice in the second half, following a pass from Yahya from the right to the second post. The Al Nassr captain took a one-touch shot that was pushed away by the goalkeeper, but he rushed in to score the rebound to make it 3-0. The Portuguese superstar jumped in celebration, then raised his fists in the air, in time with the noise from the stands.

Ronaldo could have scored a hat-trick, had he not let Sadio Mane take the penalty in the 37th minute. Marcelo Brozovic's kick hit midfielder Ivo Rodrigues' hand in the Al Khaleej penalty area, forcing the referee to award a penalty to Al Nassr. Despite being the team's main penalty taker, Ronaldo let Mane take the shot in the right corner to make it 2-0.

Despite only touching the ball 43 times, Ronaldo had the fewest shots among the Al Nassr starters in this match, with seven chances. According to Fotmob, the 39-year-old striker was the best player in the match with 9 points, followed by Yahya with 8.9 points, on a scale of 10.

Ronaldo extended his record to 887 career goals, after 1,219 matches. Since moving to Al Nassr, he has scored 58 goals in 64 matches. This season, CR7 has also scored 44 goals in 45 matches. However, Al Nassr has only won one title, the Arab Club Champions Cup, and does not have many chances to compete in the Saudi League.

The King's Cup is the Saudi National Cup, a knockout tournament. This is Al Nassr's last chance to win another trophy this season, as they have reached the final and will face Al Hilal on May 31.
