Cristiano Ronaldo’s wall trick ends in goal against Al Nassr (video) | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo scored again for Al Nassr, but he still ended up at the centre of an unusual moment during the 2-1 win over Abha. The former Sporting player reorganised the wall for a wide free-kick, and the decision ended up opening space for the opposition goal.

The move happened in the 75th minute. CR7 tried to change Al Nassr's defensive positioning, but the change left just one player in the wall. Nabil Fekir immediately spotted the opportunity and struck the free-kick perfectly, sending the ball around the lone defender and into the net.

The incident quickly gained traction on social media, with several fans pointing to Cristiano Ronaldo’s intervention as decisive in the space the opponent found. Even so, the mistake did not end up costing the Saudi side any points.

Before that, the star who came through Sporting’s academy had already made his mark on the match. In the 22nd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring with a powerful header from a corner kick.

At 41, Cristiano Ronaldo is still edging closer to the historic milestone of 1,000 career goals, now just 21 away from reaching the target.
