Al-Nassr traveled to face Al-Shabab in the 7th round of the Saudi Pro League.
This match was one of the central mathes of the round, as it featured two teams from the top four of the league standings.
As expected, the match was a fierce battle. The first goal of the game came from Emeric Laporte in the 69th minute. However, the visitors conceded during stoppage time, making it seem like the game would end in a draw.
But Al-Nassr earned a penalty in the 97th minute, which Cristiano Ronaldo confidently converted.
Notably, this marks the fifth consecutive match where Ronaldo has found the back of the net.
Interestingly, Al-Shabab could have equalized once again, but Abderrazak Hamdallah failed to convert the penalty.
