On Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the lone goal in Al-1-0’s victory over Al-Ahli, marking his 50th goal for Al-Nassr.In the 68th minute, Ronaldo scored a goal from the penalty spot with poise. Al-Nassr are presently nine points behind league leaders Al-Hilal in second place in the Saudi Pro League.
