The Portuguese legend, 39 years old, keeps up an amazing performance despite his age. He opened the game in the 34th minute with a perfect header from a cross sent by former Liverpool star Sadio Mane.

Cristiano Ronaldo's team's advantage was fleeting however, when Al-Raed equalised in the 49th minute with a penalty. Mohammed Fouzair turned the spot-kick so that the ball landed in the net's bottom right corner.
Al-Nassr, who dominates Al-Raed, will probably be let down over losing two points. Their opponent turned out to be very defensive, giving only one concession under pressure.
