Football fans will remember Cristiano Ronaldo as one of the game's most prolific goal scorers. However, unexpectedly, it has taken the forward longer than many anticipated for him to score with his new team, Al Nassr, despite the fact that he is typically so lethal in front of goal.

But on Friday, in his third game for the Saudi Arabian team, the 37-year-old eventually scored his first league goal by converting a late penalty to secure a 2-2 draw at Al Fateh in the Saudi Pro League.

Three minutes into the extra time, Al Nassr was given a penalty, and five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo duly stepped up to convert from the spot.

The game's first excellent opportunity was lost by the Portuguese superstar, who sent the ball high from just outside the six-yard box. He also hit the woodwork and had a first-half effort disallowed for offside.

I'm excited to have scored my first goal in the Saudi League, and the entire squad put in a tremendous effort to secure a crucial draw in a very challenging game! After the game, Ronaldo posted on Twitter.

After 15 games, Al Nassr is in first place, tied with Al Shabab for second place on 34 points, but it has one more game remaining. Thursday's away game against Al Wedha is Al Nassr's next game.

The Portuguese superstar was officially unveiled by his new club last month. According to Saudi state-owned media, Ronaldo will earn an estimated $200 million a year with Al Nassr.

Thankyou⚽
