Al-Nassr eased to a commanding 4-1 win over Al-Khaleej on Sunday, extending their flawless start to the Saudi Professional League season.
The standout moment of the night — and perhaps of the campaign so far — was Cristiano Ronaldo’s breathtaking overhead kick to seal the victory.
At this point, nothing Ronaldo does should come as a surprise. Yet at 40 years old, the Portuguese legend continues to defy time, scoring with the same hunger and athleticism that have defined his career.
On Sunday, with the result already beyond doubt, the striker produced one of the most spectacular goals of his career. Deep into added time, Boushal burst down the right and whipped in a cross. Ronaldo stole a step on his marker, launched himself into the air and connected with a flawless overhead kick.
The opposing goalkeeper threw himself desperately towards the ball but had no chance. It was a moment of pure, elegant brilliance — one that instantly evoked memories of his iconic strike against Juventus for Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Ronaldo now has 11 goals in 12 matches this season. And the golden question: how many has he scored in his entire career? After this masterpiece, his tally in official matches stands at 955. Simply extraordinary.
