Cristiano Ronaldo scores first goal after 40, Leads Al Nassr to a stunning win 

Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his 40th birthday by scoring his first goal since reaching this milestone, leading Al Nassr to a commanding 3-0 victory over Al Fayha in the Saudi Pro League. The match, held at Al-Awwal Park, was a testament to Ronaldo’s enduring prowess on the field.

The game commenced with Al Nassr asserting dominance, and it didn’t take long for their new signing, Jhon Durán, to make an impact.

Acquired from Aston Villa for €77 million, the 21-year-old Colombian showcased his talent by netting his first goal just 22 minutes into his debut.

 Durán received the ball 30 yards from goal, advanced with determination, and, with a deft move, outmaneuvered Al Fayha’s defender Chris Smalling before calmly slotting the ball into the net.

His celebration, marked by his signature facial expressions, was met with enthusiastic applause from fans across the world.

As the match progressed, Durán continued to shine, adding a second goal in the 72nd minute.

A precise cross from Sadio Mané found Durán, who skillfully lifted the ball over the advancing goalkeeper, further solidifying Al Nassr’s lead. Ronaldo, ever the supportive teammate, was among the first to congratulate the young forward.

Just two minutes later, Ronaldo seized his moment. Right-back Nawaf Boushal made an impressive run down the right flank and delivered a well-timed pass to Ronaldo, who had expertly positioned himself in the box.

With precision, Ronaldo swept the ball into the net, marking his first goal since turning 40.

Reflecting on the achievement, Ronaldo expressed his elation, stating, “A win and first goal after 40!” His joy was captured, and the significance of the moment was not lost on the supporters, who chanted his name in the 40th minute to honor his milestone birthday.
