How Ronaldo Broke Record With Brace At Al-Awwal Stadium

One of contemporary football strikers, Christiano Ronaldo, today broke record in one of the Saudi Pro League games, scoring a brace.

This was in a match of the 2023-24 pro league, between Al Nassr and Al Ittihad played at the Al-Awwal Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

It was a game of grits and skills right from the blast of the whistle, including a late challenge on Shanqiti by Mane early in the game which earned the latter a yellow card.

In the tenth minute, fans had yelled in excitement when Ronaldo finished a cross into the net from a tight angle but which the referee ruled offside.

A dramatic change in the proceedings happened in the 12^th minute after Mane’s dribble down the right flank was terminated by a tackle that brought him down.

Said and done, Cristiano Ronaldo scored two goals for Al Nassr against Al Ittihad to break the record for most goals scored in a Saudi Pro League season. These were in the 46^th and 49^th minutes of the game.
