Al Nassr v Al Fayha
Ronaldo's last-gasp penalty keeps Al Nassr perfect
Cristiano Ronaldo converted a penalty in the 14th minute of added time as Al Nassr's 100 percent start to the Saudi Pro League season continued with a 2-1 win over Al Fayha.
The late spot-kick was the Portugal captain's second strike of the game after he collected a through ball from Kingsley Coman to equalise from close range in the 37th minute.
Spanish winger Jason gave Al Fayha a 13th-minute lead at King Saud University Stadium in Riyadh.
Ronaldo's match-winning brace moved him on to eight league goals for the season and he has netted in each of his last five outings for his club.
The 40-year-old is yet to win the league in Saudi Arabia since moving in 2023 following his departure from Manchester United.
Al Nassr remain three points ahead of second-placed Al Taawoun in their quest for the title.
