Riyadh [Saudi Arabia], November 24 : Al Nassr continued their fine start to the Saudi Pro League 2025/26 season, defeating sixth-placed Al-Khaleej 4-1 at Al-Awwal Park on Sunday, with a sensational bicycle kick for a goal by legendary striker Cristiano Ronaldo making headlines.
During the clash between these two sides, Joao Felix opened the goal tally for Al Nassr with a strike in the 39th minute.
Felix's first attempt at the goal was ruled out due to a handball. But minutes later in the 39th minute, a cross by Angelo fell at Felix's feet, who delivered a deft touch to give his side the lead. Just three minutes later, Wesley doubled the lead after an eager pressing from Felix found him in the Al-Khaleej's box.
After the first half, Al-Khaleej overcame the 2-0 deficit, with Murad Al Hawsawi cutting the deficit short with a magnificent strike in the 47th minute. Al-Khaleej put some pressure on Al-Nassr, testing goalkeeper Nawaf Al-Aqidi with their attacking game.
Half an hour later in the 77th minute, Sadio Mane produced a lobbed curler, helping Al-Nassr take a two-goal lead. In the 90+6th minute, a cross from Nawaj Boushal went to Cristiano, who produced a jaw-dropping bicycle kick to give Al Nassr a 4-1 win.
