Cristiano Ronaldo was productive again in Saudi Arabia, and the team he represents, "Al-Nassr," celebrated victory.

In the 21st round, in Riyadh, "Al-Nassr" defeated "Abha" footballers 2-1 at home.

Guests had the advantage after the first half. 

In the 78th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo's accurate penalty kick inspired the comeback of "Al-Nassr." The Portuguese striker disarmed the opponents' goalkeeper from almost 30 meters.

The victory of the Riyadh team was ultimately determined by Anderson Talisca's accurate 11-meter penalty kick. The Brazilian had the right to take this penalty, despite Ronaldo being on the pitch at the time.

In the top of the Saudi Arabian league table are the two teams "Al-Ittihad" and "Al-Nassr."
