  • Cristiano Ronaldo rolled back the years on Sunday with a brilliant last-minute bicycle kick, sealing Al Nassr’s 4–1 victory over Al Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League.

Cristiano Ronaldo delivered another unforgettable moment on Sunday as the 40-year-old superstar scored a spectacular bicycle kick to wrap up Al Nassr’s 4–1 win over Al Khaleej at Al Awwal Park in Riyadh.

Ronaldo’s acrobatic strike came in the closing seconds after he connected perfectly with a cross from Nawaf Boushal, earning his 10th league goal of the season and sending the home crowd into a frenzy.

Al Nassr had already been in control long before Ronaldo’s late fireworks. Joao Felix opened the scoring in the 39th minute, steering Angelo’s low cross into the bottom corner. Just three minutes later, Felix turned provider, winning the ball high up the pitch and setting up Wesley, who curled a superb effort into the top right corner to make it 2–0.

Al Khaleej responded early in the second half through Hawsawi, who pulled one back with a powerful long-range strike only two minutes after the restart. The visitors kept pushing, but goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi produced crucial saves to maintain Al Nassr’s lead.

With the pressure rising, Sadio Mane restored control for Al Nassr in the 77th minute, placing a composed first-time finish into the net for their third goal.

Al Khaleej’s hopes faded further in stoppage time when Dimitrios Kourbelis was shown a straight red card for a dangerous challenge on Ali Al Hassan—moments before Ronaldo sealed the night with his iconic bicycle kick.
