In just 12 Saudi Pro League games this season, Cristiano Ronaldo has now directly contributed to 20 goals.
On Saturday, Ronaldo scored his 13th goal in the SPL this season, helping Al Nassr defeat Al-Wehda 3-1 on the road.

With a quick interception of the pass and a low half-volley into the net, Ronaldo pounced.
In the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot competition, the 38-year-old leads Aleksandar Mitrovic of Al-Hilal by three goals at this point.
