Cristiano Ronaldo reminded everyone what he is capable of once again after scoring a stunning free kick for Al Nassr.
On Saturday, Ronaldo’s Al Nassr side were looking to get their title bid back on track as they faced Abha in the Saudi Professional League.
However, their task was made much harder after Abdel Fatah Adam’s goal in the 26th minute gave the visitors a half time 1-0 lead.

In the second half, with the game seemingly running away from Al Nassr, their main man stepped up.
An absolutely spectacular free kick from Ronaldo dragged his side level with 10 minutes left to play. Ronaldo's shot arrowed into the back of the net leaving the Abha goalkeeper diving in despair.
Fans were quick to react to Ronaldo’s effort.

Al Nassr eventually held on to win the game 2-1 as they close the gap between themselves and table-topping Al Ittihad to just one point.
Up next for Al Nassr will be another Saudi Professional League match after the international break, with Al Adalh their next opponents. Ronaldo will now concentrate on Portugal as he looks to help his country win their EURO 2024 qualifiers.
