In the Saudi Pro League 2025-26 season, Al-Nassr continue their fine start as they defeated sixth-placed Al-Khaleej by 4-1 at the Al-Awwal Park on Sunday.

During the match, the fans also witnessed a sensational bicycle kick from legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.


Joao Felix opened the goal tally for Al Nassr in the 39th minute of the match. His first attempt to score a goal was ruled out due to handball, but later a cross by Angelo fell at Felix's feet, who delivered a deft touch to give his side the lead.



Three minutes later, Wesley scored the second goal after an eager pressing from Felix.

After the first half, Al-Khaleej overcame the 2-0 deficit, with Murad Al Hawsawi cutting the deficit short with a magnificent strike in the 47th minute. Al-Khaleej put some pressure on Al-Nassr, testing goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi with their attacking game.

Half an hour later, in the 77th minute, Sadio Mane produced a lobbed curler, helping Al-Nassr take a two-goal lead. In the 90+6th minute, a cross from Nawaj Boushal went to Cristiano, who produced a jaw-dropping bicycle kick to give Al Nassr a 4-1 win.

Felix and Ronaldo took their goal tallies in the 2025/26 Saudi Pro League to 10 each, with the side maintaining a spectacular record, with nine wins in nine matches and a league-topping 30 goals to their name. Al-Khaleej stays at sixth, with four wins, two draws and three losses, giving them 14 points.

In 123 matches for Al Nassr, the 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo has now produced 110 goals. In the Saudi Pro League, he has 84 goals in 86 matches, making him the third-most prolific scorer in the competition's history.

Earlier, during the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers match against Ireland, representing Portugal, Ronaldo was sent off. The Portuguese team suffered a loss by 0-2 against Ireland. During the match, he swung an elbow at Dara O'Shea. Initially, the 40-year-old football star was shown a yellow card, but was later upgraded to red after the VAR review.

Later, the side defeated Armenia by 9-1 and sealed their spot in the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2026.
