Cristiano Ronaldo extended his goal scoring run for Al Nassr on Wednesday, scoring against Al Shorta in the Arab Club Champions Cup semifinal.
After teammate Sadio Mane was tackled down inside the box, Ronaldo converted a penalty in the 75th minute to score the only goal of the match.
His goal helped al Nassr qualify for the final and the superstar appears to be in good condition only a couple of days before the Saudi Premier League officially starts.

Ronaldo scored his team’s first goal against Raja Casablanca just a couple of days ago when Al Nassr defeated Raja Casablanca 3-1 in the tournament’s quarterfinals.
After being set up by his teammate Talisca, the Portuguese superstar scored in the 19th minute. The Brazilian footballer hoodwinked two defenders on the right wing before bursting into the box and laying the ball on a platter for Ronaldo to slot home.
Ronaldo gave Al Nassr a 2-1 victory on August 1 by scoring his first goal of the year with a trademark header in the 74th minute against Tunisian team Monastir.
The goal was historic, as it enabled Ronaldo to beat Gerd Muller’s record of 144 goals with his head.
