Results of Al Nassr’s match against Damac – In the Saudi Pro League, Cristiano Ronaldo had a fantastic comeback when he scored a stunning goal to clinch an important victory for the home club. This victory was very crucial.
Al Nassr unexpectedly ran into trouble against an inferior opponent, Damac, despite the fact that they were playing on their own turf and were celebrating the return of their captain, Cristiano Ronaldo. Their attacks gave the impression of being relatively harmless due to poor passes and incorrect finishing.

In addition to this, Al Nassr’s defense was subpar, and they gave up the game’s first goal in the 45+2 minute mark. In a swift counterattack, Georges-Kevin N’Koudou received a pass from Nicolae Stanciu and then finished in a dangerous way to give Damac the lead.
The defeat pushed Al Nassr to launch additional attacks in the second half of the game. However, Ronaldo and his colleagues did not finish this match very effectively, which is something that was lacking in this contest.
At the 53rd minute mark, the away team was given the opportunity to take a straight free kick. Both Ronaldo and Talisca stood in front of the ball, but Ronaldo’s younger brother Talisca was the one who finished the play with a deft curl into the bottom left corner of the goal.
After only 4 minutes had passed, Ronaldo scored the goal that brought Al Nassr back within striking distance, making the score 2-1. In addition to being an excellent piece of technique, the free kick was taken from a distance of more than 30 meters, and the ball was placed in the upper right-hand corner of the target. This moment recreates the goal that CR7 scored in the 2018 World Cup match versus Spain.

That was also an important victory for Al Nassr. The 3 points helped Ronaldo’s team rise to 3rd place in the Saudi Pro League, surpassing defending champion Al Ittihad (22 compared to 20 points) and only 4 points behind Al Hilal’s leading position.
