Cristiano Ronaldo Ends Mini Goal Drought With Powerful Header For Al Nassr In 4-0 Win Over Al Raed
Cristiano Ronaldo scored for the first time in four games when he found the net with a powerful header to fire Al Nassr into an early lead against Al Raed.
Al Nassr had failed to score in each of their last three games but it took them less than four minutes to find the net on Friday.
Ronaldo rose above two defenders to meet a cross from Sultan Al-Ghannam inside the six-yard box.
Ronaldo has now scored 12 goals in his first 13 matches since joining Al Nassr from Manchester United.

Al Nassr went on to beat Al Raed 4-0 after Abdulrahman Ghareeb, Mohammed Maran and Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem joined Ronaldo on the scoresheet in the second half.
Al-Sulaiheem's goal was the pick of the bunch as he found the top corner with an excellent effort from outside the penalty area.
Despite his side's big win, Ronaldo was visibly a little frustrated that he was unable to score more than one.
The 38-year-old produced a furious reaction in the 57th minute when the referee refused to award him a penalty kick for an alleged foul by Mubarak Abdulrahman Al Rajeh.
Ronaldo was visibly still upset after the final whistle.
