Cristiano Ronaldo came off the bench to score in his 25th consecutive senior season as Al Nassr beat Al Riyadh 4-0 on Friday in the second round of the Saudi Pro League.
Abdulelah Al Amri opened the scoring in the 18th minute off a pass from Ángelo, who added a second in first-half stoppage time. João Félix made it 3-0 in the 58th minute, and Ronaldo, introduced in the 62nd, closed the scoring in the 83rd from an Ayman Yahya assist. The goal was Ronaldo's 977th of his career.
The win gave manager Ange Postecoglou's side six points from two matches. Ronaldo, 41, had not played since Portugal's World Cup exit to Spain on July 6. Al Riyadh sit bottom with zero points. Elsewhere, Al Diriyah earned a first win under Bruno Lage, beating Al Hazem 1-0 away.
