Cristiano Ronaldo Records First Al Nassr Assist With Long-Range Pass

Cristiano Ronaldo produced the first assist of his Saudi Pro League career with a fine long-range pass on Friday.

Ronaldo delivered a low first-time through-ball from inside his own half to set up Abdulrahman Ghareeb for Al Nassr's opening goal against Al-Taawoun.

The 38-year-old former Real Madrid forward looked delighted as he celebrated Ghareeb's goal with his Al Nassr teammates.

Ronaldo provided a second assist later in the game when he set up Abdullah Madu to score the winning goal in a 2-1 victory.

Madu's goal was awarded four minutes after the ball had hit the net due to a long VAR review.
