Cristiano Ronaldo Scores 35-Yard Free Kick in Al Nassr's ... (NBC Connecticut)

Cristiano Ronaldo's 78th-minute long-distance free kick propelled Al Nassr's 2-1 comeback victory vs. Abha in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday.

Al Nassr generated more shots, shots on target, possession, passes and more, but just couldn't find the clinical touch in the final third. Abdulfattah Adam, a striker on loan at Abha from Al Nassr, opened the scoring in the 26th minute despite being the inferior team for the majority of the game. Down 1-0 in the 78th minute to 12th-place Abha (out of 16) on Saturday, the 38-year-old Ronaldo unleashed a near-35-yard free kick to bring the score level for Al Nassr.
