Once again, the Portuguese veteran showcased his prowess in clutch moments, delivering a towering header that secured a crucial draw for his Saudi Arabian side.
Not only did his flying header rescue a point for the Knights of Nahd, but it also secured their spot in the quarter-finals of the regional competition, Inside Sport reports.
Despite Zamalek threatening to upset the odds by breaking the deadlock shortly after halftime, Ronaldo produced a picture-perfect moment with his header in the 87th minute.
The goal proved to be the deciding factor as Al-Nassr finished in the second position behind Al-Shabab, setting up a thrilling quarter-final tie against Moroccan outfit, Raja Casablanca, on August 6.
After the match, Ronaldo took time to embrace his teammates, starting with the new signing – Mane – as he congratulated the team for their tremendous efforts.
The game also served as the Senegalese star’s debut for Al-Nassr, having recently completed his transfer from Bayern Munich during the ongoing summer transfer window.
