The Zimbru Stadium was graced with the sight of the iconic 'Siu' as Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated getting off the mark for the season in a routine Manchester United victory.
The superstar striker, 37, scored the Red Devils' second goal as they defeated Sheriff Tiraspol 2-0 to pick up their first points of the Europa League campaign. Ronaldo, who had been frustrated up to that point, stepped up in the 39th minute after Diogo Dalot was bundled over in the area to smash a penalty down the middle before wheeling away to the corner flag to celebrate in typical fashion.
It was far from a perfect evening for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner in Moldova, as he appeared short of sharpness and his usual world-leading physicality evaded him. That being said, Ronaldo will be relieved to have broken what was a long drought by his standards, meaning he can carry some momentum into the international break with Portugal and the hectic autumn schedule with United.
