Ronaldo Scores Debut Goal in Saudi League with PK... Team Draws
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Cristiano Ronaldo (38, Al Nassr) scored his debut goal in Saudi Arabian professional football.
On the 4th (Korean time), Ronaldo started as the forward in the away match against Al Fateh in the 2022-2023 Saudi Pro League held at Prince Abdullah bin Jalawi Stadium in Al-Hasa, Saudi Arabia. He played the full match and scored the equalizing goal in added time of the second half, saving Al Nassr from the brink of defeat. Al Nassr maintained their top position with 34 points (10 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss) by securing a draw that day.

When Al Nassr was trailing 1-2, Ronaldo calmly finished a penalty kick awarded after his teammate Jaloliddin Masharipov was fouled by an opposing defender inside the penalty area during a free kick opportunity.
Ronaldo moved to Al Nassr after terminating his contract due to conflicts with his team while playing for Manchester United in the English Premier League. Al Nassr signed Ronaldo at the end of December last year with a contract worth $75 million annually (approximately 93.8 billion KRW) until 2025.
