The five-time Ballon d’or winner netted what could go down as a Puskas Award winner.
Cristiano Ronaldo made history by becoming the highest first-division scorer in history by netting a goal that could be a real contender for the Puskas Award.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has been in scintillating form during his second season in the Saudi Pro League thus far.
Goals have been in abundance, with Ronaldo scoring 16 in 17 appearances prior to Al Nassr's Friday night clash at home to Al Akhdoud.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star has had his fair share of world-class moments at the club.
But he may have taken things to a whole new level when Al Nassr won their 14th Saudi Pro League match of the season.
Sami Al Najei gave them the lead after 13 minutes with a goal that looked as though it would be the only strike of the evening.
