The 38-year-old was reportedly left out due to sustaining a muscle injury in Al-Nassr’s previous game against Al-Ettifaq. 

Anderson Talisca was the star of the show, scoring twice and dazzling the home crowd throughout. 

The win sees Al-Nassr confirm their second place finish, five points behind league winners Al-Ittihad. 

More on Cristiano Ronaldo

Ronaldo joined the Saudi side officially at the beginning of January after his time at Manchester United was cut short in controversial fashion, largely of his own making. 

Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 14 goals in 16 appearances for Al-Nassr

He has scored 14 goals in 16 appearances but rumours surrounding an exit have refused to die down, with the latest reports suggesting he may look to pay out of pocket to force a move this summer. 

If he does remain at the club however, he will look to guide his team to the Saudi Pro League title next season.
