In the 11th minute, Al Nassr received a direct free kick slightly to the right, about 23 meters from Al Wehda’s goal. Standing in front of the ball as usual is Ronaldo. Besides, there are also two teammates Alex Telles and Talisca.

 

With such a relatively favorable distance, everyone thought CR7 would be the one to take the free kick. The Portuguese superstar’s familiar stance and absolute concentration made Al Wehda’s goalkeeper focus all their eyes on him. In addition, the home team’s goalkeeper also proactively stood to one side of the goal, ready to wait for Ronaldo’s shot. When the referee’s whistle blew, Ronaldo lightly stomped his foot to gain momentum and at the same time moved forward slightly.

 

At this moment, Telles suddenly rushed forward and kicked the ball with his left foot into the far corner of Al Wehda’s goal. Everything happened so quickly that goalkeeper Munir Mohamedi was completely surprised, standing still, watching the ball fit in the net. This was clearly a pre-discussed and pre-calculated arrangement from Ronaldo and his teammates. CR7 handled it very intelligently, deceiving the entire defense and the home team’s goalkeeper with familiar free kick preparation movements.

 

Against Al Wehda, Ronaldo scored a goal in the 49th minute to increase the score to 3-0 for Al Nassr. Anselmo’s goal in the 81st minute only helped Al Wehda have an honorable goal.

 

This season, the 38-year-old striker has scored 16 goals and 9 assists after 17 appearances for Al Nassr in all competitions, contributing to helping the home team rank 2nd in the Saudi Pro League with 31 points, behind top team Al Hilal 4 points.
