Cristiano Ronaldo Al Nassr bags vital brace on injury return

Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice on his Al Nassr return to extend their Saudi Pro League lead to six points before rivals Al Hilal face Al Taawoun.

​Cristiano Ronaldo marked his return from a month-long hamstring injury with two goals in Al Nassr’s 5-2 win over Al Najma.

The 41-year-old converted a penalty and added a second to move Al Nassr six points clear at the top.

Coach Jorge Jesus previously feared a “more serious injury,” but Ronaldo’s clinical performance kept him in the Golden Boot race behind leader Ivan Toney.
