Guess what, soccer fans! ⚽️ The legendary Cristiano Ronaldo has done it again! The superstar led his team, Al Nassr, to a great 2-0 win against Al Wehda in the Saudi Pro League.
The first half of the game was a bit slow, with both teams trying hard but not scoring any goals. But just three minutes into the second half, the excitement began! Substitute Angelo sent a perfect cross into the box, and Ronaldo was there to head the ball into the net! 🎯 That’s his 17th goal of the season!
Al Wehda didn’t give up, though. They pushed forward, trying to score. Their striker, Morad Khodari, nearly tied the game, but his shot hit the post! So close!
In the last minutes of the game, something interesting happened. Ronaldo took a free-kick, and the ball hit Al Wehda’s player Juninho Bacuna on the arm inside the penalty area. After checking with VAR (that’s a video assistant referee system that helps the referee make the right decision), the referee gave Al Nassr a penalty kick! But instead of taking it himself, Ronaldo let his teammate Sadio Mané take the shot. How cool is that? 😊 Mané scored, making it 2-0!
With this win, Al Nassr moved up to third place in the league. They are now just eight points away from first place with 12 games left. Can they win the championship? Let’s wait and see! 🏆
