The Portugal star controlled a loose ball on his chest before expertly lofting home from distance in the 80th minute after opposition goalkeeper Paulo Vitor raced out to clear the initial danger.
Ronaldo brace inspires Al Nassr to victory
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a stunning 40-yard lob as part of a quick-fire second-half double to help Al Nassr beat Al-Okhdood 3-0 in the Saudi Pro League.
Ronaldo’s eye-catching finish was his 15th goal of the season and came just three minutes after he had doubled his side’s lead.
The 38-year-old’s first of the evening was a powerful finish from a tight angle after a fine touch to kill a dropping ball.
Victory for second-placed Al Nassr was its 11th from 14 games this term to move it a point behind leader Al-Hilal.
Midfielder Sami Al Naji opened the scoring at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh by slotting the ball home in the 13th minute before former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward Ronaldo took centre stage.
