After his defeat on the previous day in the league, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates had no room for error.
The least we can say is that they revived very nicely on Saturday against Abha during the 21st day.
First led to the score, the men of Rudi Garcia were able to reverse the situation (2-1), thanks in particular to Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese scored a magnificent free kick from more than thirty meters to equalize. The five-time Ballon d’Or took advantage of a slight hole in the local wall to place a powerful shot.
This fabulous goal is also the ninth achievement of the Real Madrid legend in the Saudi Pro League since his arrival last winter.
CR7 could even have afforded the double, but he preferred to leave the penalty for the winning goal to his teammate Talisca. A gesture towards his partner who was returning from several weeks of injuries.
Note that thanks to this narrow victory, Al Nassr remains only one length behind the championship leader, Al Ittihad.
While his team was trailing, the Portuguese changed everything with a magnificent free kick. Before showing his excellent leadership by offering a penalty to Talisca who was in crisis of confidence.
