Al-Nassr found themselves behind as a goal from Brazilian midfielder Michael saw Cristiano Ronaldo's team trailing just a few minutes after the break. But the former Manchester United player leveled the proceedings as he tapped in home at the stroke of 74 minutes.
The 38-year-old then kept his best for the last. A thumping shot from Anderson Talisca hit the woodwork and a cunning Ronaldo who was waiting on the wings headed home which proved to be the match-winner.
The Portuguese maverick once again proved why he is always called whenever the team needs him the most. Al-Nassr will now take on Al-Ettifaq as they kick off their Saudi Pro League campaign on Monday.
