After a 3-2 defeat against Al-Ettifaq last week, Al-Nassr rebounded in Saudi Pro League with a 2-0 victory against Al-Wehda on Tuesday. Ronaldo scored the first goal of a clinical head just after the break and Sadio Mané converted a penalty at the end of the match to ensure the three points for his team.

Al-Nassr obtained a free kick at the end of the match in the last minutes of the match that Ronaldo shot and the powerful shot of the Portuguese was deflected by the arm of an opposing defender and came out in a corner. The 40 -year -old immediately addressed the referee to examine a hand and after a Var verification, a penalty was granted. Ronaldo, who is the designated shooter of Al-Nassr, made a generous gesture by allowing Mané to pull the penalty instead of adding to his total. The former Liverpool player had not scored in his last nine appearances and was in difficulty, but he seized the opportunity with both hands and found the bottom of the nets. Ronaldo also urged the fans to stop whistling his teammate while he was preparing to shoot.

With this victory, Stefano Pioli's team exceeded Al-Qadisiyah-who lost 4-1 against Al-Ahli-in the classification and went back to third place. It is now eight points behind the leader al-Ittihad, who has one less match.

Ronaldo and his teammates will be back in action in Saudi Pro League on Saturday, while they will face al-Orobah in another game outside.
