Cristiano Ronaldo’s 96th-Minute Bicycle Kick Caps Al‑Nassr’s 4-1 Win To Make It Nine From Nine

The overhead finish completed Al‑Nassr’s ninth straight league victory to keep them four points clear in the Saudi Pro League.

Overview

  • Cristiano Ronaldo met a right‑wing cross from Nawaf Boushal in the 96th minute, with goalkeeper Anthony Moris getting a touch but failing to keep out the overhead kick.
  • The result extended Al‑Nassr’s perfect start to nine wins from nine matches and maintained a four‑point lead at the top of the table.
  • Ronaldo posted the clip on X with the message “Best caption wins!” as coach Jorge Jesus likened the strike to the forward’s famed Juventus overhead in 2018.
  • Multiple outlets reported the goal as the 40‑year‑old’s 954th career strike, though tallies vary depending on counting conventions.
  • The moment followed his recent VAR-reviewed red card for Portugal, a disciplinary episode that could affect his availability at next year’s World Cup.
