Cristiano Ronaldo hugged the headlines with a vintage moment right at the death, as he rolled back the years to score a brilliant bicycle kick. The 40-year-old managed to make a perfect connection to a cross from Nawaf Al-Boushail, sending the ball beyond the despairing dive of the Al-Khaleej goalkeeper and rounding off the scoring.

Joao Felix opened the scoring for Al-Nassr in the 39th minute after Angelo Gabriel set him up to score his 11th league goal. The lead became two three minutes later when Wesley, starting in place of the injured Kingsley Coman, curled home a fine effort from outside the box.

Al-Khaleej pulled one back just two minutes into the second half, as Murad Al-Hawsawi found the net to halve the deficit. Sadio Mane restored the two-goal advantage of Al-Nassr in the 77th minute before Al-Khaleej were reduced to ten men following a straight red card to Dimitrios Kourbelis in added time.

Cristiano Ronaldo would have the final say in the game, as he continued to show that age is just a number with a fine bicycle kick in the 96th minute. The Knights of Najd opened up a four-point lead atop the league standings, continuing their 100% start to the season.
