CR7 puts Al-Nassr ahead with a no-look volley

Cristiano Ronaldo was back on the scoresheet a month after his last goal in an Al-Nassr shirt, volleying home a great strike without even seeing where the goal was.

The Portuguese made it 1-0 against Al-Khaleej in the semi-final of the Saudi Arabian Champions Cup, the first step towards another title with the Arabian side.

Al-Nassr's high pressing was the key to making it 1-0 in the 17th minute. Al-Khaleej goalkeeper Sehic had to get off the ball and it crashed into the body of Ayman Yahya.

The ball rebounded into the corner of the box, from where Ronaldo scored a superb left-footed volley without looking at goal to surprise both keeper and defence.
