Just after missing a penalty, Ronaldo responded with a stunning goal that electrified the entire stadium.

Cristiano Ronaldo once again demonstrated why he remains an immortal icon in world football. In Al-Nassr’s overwhelming 5-1 victory over Al-Fateh, the Portuguese superstar took fans through a rollercoaster of emotions within just a few minutes.

Al-Nassr entered the match in excellent form, having won all four previous rounds, quickly asserting their status as a powerhouse. At the 13th minute, Joao Felix opened the scoring with a precise finish. However, that slim lead was erased early in the second half when Sofiane Bendebka capitalized on a defensive lapse to equalize for Al-Fateh at the 54th minute.

That goal acted as a wake-up call, bringing Al-Nassr back to “bulldozer” mode. Just six minutes later, captain Ronaldo restored the yellow-shirted team’s lead with a goal in the 60th minute. Remarkably, this shining moment came only 60 seconds after he himself missed a penalty at the 59th minute, saved by goalkeeper Amin Al Bukhari.

For most players, that fall might have crushed their spirit. But for Ronaldo, it was merely fuel to ignite an even stronger burst. Receiving the ball on the left wing, CR7 used his signature cut to evade the defender and fired a hammer-like shot into the far corner, a trademark masterpiece that made the entire stadium leap to its feet.

After Ronaldo’s goal, Al-Nassr played as if they had “unlocked a new level.” Felix scored a brace at the 68th minute and completed his hat-trick at the 80th. Kingsley Coman also contributed to the goal fest with the fourth strike, sealing a convincing 5-1 victory.

According to Sofascore, the Portuguese superstar took a total of 8 shots, including 4 on target and one that hit the crossbar, constantly putting Al-Fateh’s goal under pressure. Ronaldo also 1 clear chance was missed, specifically the penalty at the 59th minute saved by goalkeeper Al Bukhari. Less than 60 seconds later, he immediately redeemed himself with an unstoppable long-range strike. Additionally, CR7 was caught offside 2 times, showing his active movement and constant readiness to break through the opposing defense. Looking at these stats, it’s clear Ronaldo remains the irreplaceable leader driving Al-Nassr’s winning streak in the Saudi Pro League.

This victory helps Al-Nassr maintain a five-game winning streak and extend their lead at the top of the table to 4 points. Next weekend, Al-Nassr will travel to face Al Hazem aiming to continue their “perfect streak.” If Ronaldo keeps up his current explosive form, it will be very difficult for any team in the Saudi Pro League to stop them.
