C. Ronaldo has failed to score in three consecutive matches for Al Nassr. This has caused the superstar number 7 to receive a lot of criticism for his performance and attitude (having offensive behavior towards fans, yelling at the Al Nassr coaching staff).

However, what makes C. Ronaldo great is his ability to overcome pressure. The 38-year-old striker showed that in the match against Al Raed in the 25th round of the Saudi Arabian national championship last night. CR7 scored the opening goal, creating the premise to help Al Nassr win 4-0.
With this result, Al Nassr is still ranked second in the Saudi Arabian national championship table with 56 points after 25 matches, 3 points behind the leading team Al Ittihad but playing one more match.
Entering this match, Al Nassr entered the match with enthusiasm. In the 4th minute, Sultan Al Ghannam had a cross for C. Ronaldo to head the ball into Al Raed's net. This was the 12th goal after 14 appearances for Al Nassr by superstar number 7.
The opening goal made it easier for Al Nassr to play. In the first half, they continuously put pressure on Al Raed's goal but no more goals were scored. The most regrettable situation was when Abdulrahman Ghareeb's shot missed the post when he ran down to face the goalkeeper.
C. Ronaldo reacted strongly because he was not awarded a penalty.
Right at the beginning of the second half, C. Ronaldo's team scored the second goal. In the 55th minute, after receiving a pass from his teammate, Abdulrahman Ghareeb calmly dribbled past an Al Raed player, before shooting into the opponent's net, raising the score to 2-0.
In the 58th minute, C. Ronaldo had a great dribble and fell in the penalty area. After consulting VAR, the referee did not award Al Nassr a penalty. This decision made CR7 extremely angry. He waved his arms and shouted in frustration.
Al Raed did not have many chances to score in this match. Meanwhile, in the extra time, Al Nassr took advantage of the opponent's lack of concentration to score two consecutive goals by Mohammed Maran and Abdulmajeed Al Sulaiheem. The match ended with a score of 4-0 in favor of Al Nassr.
