Cristiano Ronaldo marked his return from illness with a goal as Al Nassr cruised to a 2-0 win against Al Wehda in a Saudi Pro League 2024-25 match at Al -Awwal Park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Friday.

Angelo Gabriel’s exquisite strike gave Al Nassr an early advantage in the 41st minute. The young Brazilian, with a burst of speed from the right wing, chipped a perfectly placed shot over the goalkeeper. It initially appeared as if he was aiming for a cross, but his precision proved otherwise.
