Cristiano Ronaldo netted his ninth goal for Al-Nassr since his move from Manchester United with a stunning free kick to inspire a comeback victory over Abha in the Saudi Pro League.
The three points kept Ronaldo's side second in the table and within one point of table topping Al-Ittihad, who were also winners at the weekend. It looked like Al-Nassr were going to suffer a shock defeat in the closing stages with the visitors one up.
Enter Ronaldo. He let loose with a free kick from more than 35 yards and his powerful effort flew through the wall and underneath the desperate dive of Devis Epassy. The 38-year-old's goal was his first from a direct free-kick since managing one in a 3-2 victory for United against Norwich City 11 months ago, a game in which he netted a hattrick.
