Former Manchester United and Real Madrid player, Cristiano Ronaldo has shown the world he still got his truck when it comes to scoring free kick especially distanced ones.
Cristiano Ronaldo ended a near three-year wait to score a free kick as he rocketed home a stunning effort for Al-Nassr on Saturday evening.
The Portuguese forward was in action for Al-Nassr as they took on Abha. Rudi Garcia’s side were attempting to cut the gap to Saudi Pro League leaders Al-Ittihad, but things did not start so well after they fell 1-0 behind in the 26th minute of the clash.
Ronaldo was on hand late on to get Al-Nassr back on level terms. He claimed a central free kick over 30 yards out in the 77th minute of the game.
The 38-year-old made no mistake as he smashed home his effort into the bottom corner past Abha goalkeeper David Epassy, who was left remonstrating with his teammates.
After opponents Abha were reduced to 10 men, Brazilian forward Anderson Talisca netted a 86th-minute penalty to secure victory. Interestingly, the pair actually had an interesting exchange earlier this week as they faced the same opponents in the King Cup of Champions quarter-finals.
