Cristiano Ronaldo marked his return to action with a goal as Al Nassr cruised to a 4-0 victory over Al Riyadh on Friday.

The Portugal captain came off the bench and capped a dominant display from Al Nassr by scoring in the 83rd minute following a brilliant assist from Yahya.

According to football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the goal took Ronaldo’s career tally to 977.

Ronaldo had been left out of Al Nassr’s starting lineup in their previous match and watched from the stands as his side defeated Al Fateh on Saturday.

Al Nassr took the lead in the 18th minute when Al Amri found the net to give the visitors an early advantage.

Angelo doubled the lead in the 46th minute before Joao Felix made it 3-0 in the 58th minute.

Ronaldo then completed the rout in the 83rd minute, marking his return with a goal and helping Al Nassr secure another convincing victory.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner’s return provides another boost for Al Nassr as the club continues its pursuit of success in Saudi football.
