Cristiano Ronaldo stars in Al Nassr's win over Al Khaleej to 'keep pressure' on Al Hilal

Cristiano Ronaldo praised Al Nassr's "solid win" over Al Khaleej in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday as the Portuguese forward took his tally for the season to 12 goals in 11 matches.

Ronaldo, 38, opened the scoring at Mrsool Park in the 26th minute with a superb strike from outside the area, before turning provider for Nassr's second when he cushioned the ball back across goal from a wide free kick for defender Aymeric Laporte to score a tap-in.

Sadio Mane thought he had scored Nassr's first goal in the ninth minute but his finish was chalked off by VAR for offside.

What a strike from @Cristiano
