Cristiano Ronaldo Tonight with Al Nassr vs Al Orubah

The focal point of their team and not really showing any signs of slowing down so far. No already four goals in the league this season and at 39 years old you do wonder how long he can go on, he looks fit, he looks sharp, he looks at the career with an outstanding glittering career behind them we're seeing a lot of quality young players. ...of Al Nasser's defence today. The match officials, by the way, for this game, mostly from Argentina. Our referee today, Yael Falcón-Pérez. There, he's done a great job since he's come in. There's Ronaldo today, he's got... It's Al Nasser who get us underway. Match week six at Al-Awal Park with the newly promoted Al-Oroba. Aydin Taliska just dropping back. First touch for Brozovic towards the near side. And now of Al-Busha, who picks out Ronaldo. Crowd comes alive straight away. The pass, not quite enough on it to find Sadio Mane. He'll be doing a lot of work up front on his own, the number 21. Yeah, it's a polite way of saying I think that it's likely to be all hands on deck for quite a time in the match. And the first opportunity there for Ronaldo. That's a huge opportunity. The players jumping in front of him just put him off. The player of his quality there. We know what spring he's got. It's a really good ball into the box. The defender just jumping in front of it. Ismail Kandus, a Moroccan defender. Now with Cristiano Ronaldo, quick to unleash a shot. And the block made by Kandus. While at least to those at the top of the table. Brozovic. Touch here for Sadio Mane. Ronaldo. And the crowd responding enthusiastically to the no-look pass. And then Mane smothered him. Matches this season for Al Nasser. Came off the bench a few times, getting an opportunity today. Still making the forward run ahead of Ronaldo on the near side. It's got Al Boucher on the near side. Brozovic. Ronaldo. Mane. It's another early attack survived by this. So we sacked him at the end of the season. He went and Vasco da Gama wasn't the club that he'd spoken to. But he did go to Vasco da Gama in the summer. But only lasted four matches before he was shown the door there. And here he is now in the Saudi Pro League as Mane went to the corner. To set plays such as this one as Brozovic sends it over. And it's on to Laporte's head and away. It was the centre forward who got it away. It struck Serri on the arm. Not a great deal he could do about. All the phone cameras are out around the stadium to try to capture what they hope is the moment that puts their team ahead. It's Ronaldo for Al Nasser. And it's 1-0. Five goals in six league matches to start the new campaign. Stadium with the cameras pointed at Ronaldo. That run up that we've seen so, so often and the end so often. Coolness personified. The run up, we know he waits, looks at the goalkeeper. Goalkeeper goes the wrong way. Paul, he waited twice there. He's only taken it off one step. It's an incredible penalty of one step. Penalty. With that, he's now scored 54. That was Al-Khaibari away to the far side. Collected by Ronaldo, who is free to roam and to wander as he wishes. I think that change, the enforced change there, might just give the team a little bit more balance with two natural right footed right back and a natural left footed left back. Taliska coming out, which will be placed on the ankle, no doubt. As Brozovic finds Ronaldo. And now Al-Oraba's players doing some more backtracking. Sadio Mane, almost forgot the ball there for a moment and then concedes a free kick with the challenge on Hamad Al-Magati. The captain of Al-Oraba. Been quiet tonight, Sadio Mane. Half already. It's a Cristiano Ronaldo penalty that separates these two sides. Al-Oraba. Challenges like that, they want him at the other end of the field. Playing the way out nicely though via Rotavio and Taliska into Ronaldo. Support arriving, Taliska racing through the middle. Substitute Al-Najdi now with a chance to put it into the penalty area. That's Goodmanson back trying to have Al-Khaibari. Substitute Al-Najdi into Mane. Taliska, not too far away. Collected by Brozovic, Ronaldo. Brozovic, it's good to see him fit and playing again. Here comes Cristiano Ronaldo into Sadio Mane. 2-0. The two biggest stars of Al-Nasr combining beautifully to double their... ...timed his run to perfection. It's Kurt Zouma in the middle of the screen that's playing him onside. Ronaldo so aware, sees the run of Sadio Mane. And it's such a tight angle for Mane. He squeezes it underneath the goalkeeper's left hand. Really tight angle, hits it well. Goalkeeper will be disappointed, but it's a good finish from... That excellent strike with Ronaldo setting up Sadio Mane. That's it, the visiting side, they've got hit with the penalty, which they thought, obviously, they were hard done. So those home fans were making a real noise inside the stadium tonight. So just points at this stage of the season are just as important as those... ...and Talisca has it now with support from Mane. Ronaldo nearside, plenty of yellow shirts flooding forward in and around the Al-Arabah penalty area. Mane, take a potential place in the Portuguese squad. Kaibari back into Brozovic. This is Ronaldo, lets it run. Now it's with Talisca who tees it up and... Again, incredible awareness by Cristiano Ronaldo, puts Talisca in and on his left foot, you just think, for all the world, he's going to score. At least hit the target. Doesn't quite get the... Cristian Tello tries to take it in his stride, but waiting to take it off his toes was Amrit Kapoor. There's a goalkeeper. And there was me bigging him up, reminding everyone he played for Brazil this year. It was a bad mistake, but now to the other end with Ronaldo and Sarri is back. He's covering some ground in his first half. Last five minutes. ...score many goals if the visitors get it, then it could change the complexity of the game. Well, they've started in a very positive mindset here, as Al-Najdi sends it forward. To right back, really high up the field, stretching the pitch, giving Al-Nasr an option wide. Sadio Mane, Tolisco alongside him. This is Ronaldo now up against Al-Maghati. Tolisco will... Al-Khaibari has done well, just scooting clear of Cristian Tello there. And suddenly yellow shirts flood forward as Sadio Mane feet it into Salim Al-Najdi. Here comes Ronaldo in towards Otavio at full stretch. Kurt Zouma is there. Times are defied defence. Al-Najdi into Cristiano Ronaldo. Up against Kandus. And it's a corner. Ronaldo drives the challenge in the first half. Al-Ali and Al-Heng a little bit later on, as one more goal would surely put it out of reach, as Ronaldo guys in behind Kurt Zouma. Zouma's claiming a handball, I think, against Ronaldo. Tolisco's up there, Otavio in the box too. Ronaldo's still going. Leading the defence a merry dance, and then the flag goes up anyway. I think he was just offside, Cristiano Ronaldo there. Behind him again, Ronaldo behind Zouma. Zouma's unaware of where he is. Clever awareness on the pitch again by Cristiano Ronaldo. But that time he's actually looking at Kurt Zouma. Laporte moves the space for Mane. And they took that beautifully. Unable to escape away from Al-Mugatti. Mane waits in the middle, the number 16 just off the bench. It's with Brozovic and Otavio. Mohamed Marin in the middle, others arriving too. Mane takes his time. Brozovic goes for goal. Here's Al-Ghushal. Oh, crisp, sharp finish from Sadio Mane. His second of the match. Does the flag really close? The officials were very quick on it. Very quick. Just a few good clubs in his career, isn't he? Cristiantello, Barcelona, Betis, and FIFA. He's onside, it's 3-0. First impressions proved to be correct, and Mane with all delivery. And he almost takes it on the half, Ole Sadio Mane. Really good finish, nothing the goalkeeper can do about this one. Fantastic ball, low, driven across, head height with pace. Falls to Sadio Mane, he takes it on the volley. Really crisp, clean finish. And in the end, does extremely well to at least have hit the target. It wouldn't have been a surprise if the ball had ended up in the back of the net there. Here comes Mane again, looking for Ronaldo. Plenty of yellow shirts buzzing around the Al-Ghushal. Otavio's ball in, collected by Ronaldo, keeps it clear of Kandus. Not enough space there. Cristiano Ronaldo can rest his legs for a few minutes, and hear the adulation of the crowd as he makes his way off the field. And Abdullah Al-Khaiboueda last week. From Cristiano Ronaldo, the final score, Alnasser 3-0 Al-Araba. To see their two biggest names, Cristiano Ronaldo with a penalty to set them on the road to victory. And two goals from the Senegalese forward, Sadio Mane. Alnasser winning against Al-Araba by three goals to nil. It's goodbye for now.
