Ronaldo scores 25-yard belter to put Al-Nassr ahead

Cristiano Ronaldo doesn't take off days. Al-Nassr's figurehead keeps doing what he does best, finding the back of the net for his Saudi team on Sunday and putting them one step closer to the semi-finals of the King Salman Club Cup.

Despite having had very little of the ball in the early stages, the Portuguese megastar came onto the scene in the 19th minute and made no mistake with his first chance on goal. He was in his natural habitat and he doesn't miss those.

The ball was played to Anderson Talisca, who took a touch to get two markers off his back. The Brazilian advanced into the box, cut back and sent a perfect ball to a CR7 who was already asking for it. And it was a done deal.

The Portuguese waited for the right moment to hammer the ball home with his left foot. A powerful shot that went in off the left-hand post of the goal defended by Zniti.
