Cristiano Ronaldo scored from the penalty spot for a Riyadh XI against Paris Saint-Germain on Thursday.

The game was a glitzy exhibition between French champions PSG and a Saudi all-star team comprising exclusively of players from Al Nassr and Al-Hilal.

Ronaldo's penalty goal arrived on 34 minutes after it appeared as though he had been accidentally punched in the head by former Real Madrid teammate Keylor Navas.

However, slow-motion replays later suggested that Ronaldo may actually have accidentally thrust his face into the arm of Navas, rather than the other way round.

After receiving medical attention, Ronaldo stepped up to take and convert the resulting spot kick himself, much to the delight of the crowd at the King Fahd International Stadium.

PSG had earlier taken the lead inside the first three minutes when Neymar set up Lionel Messi for the game's opening goal.

Kylian Mbappe then had a goal disallowed for offside midway through the first half, before Ronaldo's equalizer.

PSG were reduced to 10 men before half-time when Juan Bernat was shown a straight red card for a foul on Salem Al Dawsari.

But the French side defied their numerical disadvantage by retaking the lead courtesy of Marquinhos four minutes after Bernat's sending off.

PSG should have made it 3-1 moments later after Neymar won a penalty.

But Neymar failed to convert his spot-kick as his tame effort was saved by Mohammed Al-Owais.

That miss was swiftly punished as Ronaldo scored again at the other end in first-half stoppage time.

Sergio Ramos, Hyun-Soo Jang, Mbappe, Hugo Ekitike and Talisca all added goals in the second half as PSG won a crazy game 5-4.
