In the Saudi Pro League match between Al-Nassr and Abha, Cristiano Ronaldo demonstrated his free-kick mastery once again, netting a remarkable long-range strike that brought his team level. The goal marked Ronaldo's 59th successful free-kick in his illustrious career. 

Al-Nassr had fallen behind earlier in the game, with Abdulfattah Adam Mohammed scoring for Abha in the 26th minute of the match.

Despite several missed opportunities, Rudi Garcia's squad continued to search for the equalizer. The decisive moment finally arrived in the 78th minute, when Cristiano Ronaldo scored an impressive free-kick that beat Abha goalkeeper Devis Epassy. The ball went through the wall, powered by Ronaldo's precision, and found the back of the net to restore parity.

Shortly after, Abha's Zakaria Al-Sudani was sent off, and Al-Nassr was awarded a penalty from the resulting free-kick. Everyone anticipated Ronaldo's second goal of the night, but Brazilian Anderson Talisca stepped up to take the penalty and calmly found the corner of the net, giving the home team the lead in the 86th minute at Mrsool Park.

Ronaldo now has nine goals in ten matches for Al-Nassr, with two assists to his name.

Abdulfattah Adam, an Al Nassr player on loan to Abha, scored a goal in the first half to put Abha ahead, which caught Al Nassr off guard. Adam chose not to celebrate the goal in front of the Al Nassr supporters in a jubilant manner. Al Nassr struggled to respond with any successful attacking play due to their lack of coordinated movements. Al Nassr picked up the pace after the break, but they needed goals from a long-range free kick by Cristiano Ronaldo and a penalty that was successfully converted by Anderson Talisca to win.
