"Cristiano Ronaldo scored a 115th-minute penalty to maintain Al-Nassr's 100 percent start to the Saudi Pro League season following a 2-1 win over Al-Fayha. Ronaldo, who had equalised earlier in the game after Jason had given the visitors a surprise lead, dispatched the spot-kick deep into second-half stoppage-time after defender Abdulelah Al-Amri was adjudged to have been fouled in the box."
"With the likes of Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Joao Felix and Kingsley Coman in their ranks, it is perhaps unsurprising that Al-Nassr have scored the most goals in the Saudi top-flight so far this term. But despite the hoists enviable attacking prowess, it was the visitors who took a surprise lead on 13 minutes when former Manchester United defender Chris Smalling's ball over the top found the run of Jason."
"Kingsley Coman then scored what initially appeared to be the equaliser when he finished well from Sadio Mane's low cross, but VAR adjudged that Mane had been in an offside position in the build-up. However, the hosts would draw level before the break courtesy of Ronaldo. Following some neat footwork by Coman, the Frenchman picked out Ronaldo in the box and the Portuguese forward required just two touches to take the ball away from the keeper and lash home his eighth goal of the season."
