Ronaldo Shines with Stunning Bicycle Kick as Al-Nassr Extend Winning Streak
Cristiano Ronaldo delivered another unforgettable moment as Al-Nassr secured a commanding 4-1 victory over Al-Khaleej, maintaining their flawless start in the 2025/26 Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo’s jaw-dropping bicycle kick was the highlight of a match that also saw standout performances from Joao Felix and Sadio Mane, powering Al-Nassr to their ninth consecutive win.
Cristiano Ronaldo Leads Al-Nassr’s Dominance
Cristiano Ronaldo wasted no time making his mark at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh. From the opening whistle, Ronaldo was a constant threat, narrowly missing an early chance before testing Al-Khaleej keeper Anthony Moris with a close-range effort. Despite being denied, the Portuguese superstar remained relentless in attack, demonstrating why he is the Saudi Pro League’s biggest attraction.
Joao Felix and Sadio Mane Add to the Firepower
After a disallowed Joao Felix goal due to a handball in the buildup, Al-Nassr broke the deadlock with a brilliant move. Angelo’s precise cross found Felix, who coolly slotted home to put the hosts ahead. Moments later, Felix’s pressure forced a turnover that allowed Wesley to double Al-Nassr’s advantage with a clinical finish.
Sadio Mane continued his impressive form, restoring Al-Nassr’s two-goal lead with a sublime lobbed effort after Al-Khaleej threatened a comeback early in the second half. Mane’s dynamic play alongside Ronaldo and Felix has been crucial in Faris Najd’s attacking prowess, contributing to their league-leading goal tally.
Al-Khaleej’s Brief Resurgence and Costly Errors
Al-Khaleej showed resilience with a quick goal from Murad Al Hawsawi just after halftime, briefly narrowing the deficit. However, their momentum was stifled when Dimitrios Kourbelis received a straight red card for a reckless stamp on Ali Al-Hassan, leaving the visitors with ten men and little hope of a comeback.
Ronaldo’s Bicycle Kick Seals the Win
The crowning moment of the match came when Nawaj Boushal whipped in a cross that met Ronaldo’s acrobatic brilliance. The 40-year-old leapt into the air, executing a textbook bicycle kick that soared into the net, igniting the home crowd and cementing Al-Nassr’s status as title favorites.
Joao Felix Matches Ronaldo’s Goal Tally
Joao Felix’s goal and assist not only secured all three points but also allowed him to draw level with Ronaldo in the league’s scoring charts, each boasting ten goals. Felix’s resurgence in Saudi Arabia is proving pivotal for Al-Nassr, with his creative link-up play and finishing ability complementing Ronaldo’s leadership.
Brozovic Faces Scrutiny for Disciplinary Issues
While Al-Nassr enjoyed another resounding win, Marcelo Brozovic’s performance highlighted areas of concern. The Croatian midfielder’s handball led to Felix’s first-half goal being ruled out, and he was fortunate to avoid a second yellow card. Coach Jorge Jesus opted to substitute Brozovic at halftime, signaling the importance of discipline as the season intensifies.
Al-Nassr’s Unstoppable Form in the Saudi Pro League
With nine wins from nine games and an incredible 30 goals scored, Al-Nassr sit comfortably atop the Saudi Pro League. Their attacking trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Joao Felix, and Sadio Mane continues to dazzle, while the team’s defensive solidity remains unmatched.
