The 37-year-old Ronaldo has yet to open a goal record in the new club Al Nasr's jersey despite scoring a pair of goals in an exhibition match against PSG for a combined Saudi team.
In his Saudi Pro-League debut against Al Ittifaq, Ronaldo's team won despite not scoring. The second match was a worse experience. Al Nasre exited the semi-finals of the Saudi Super Cup after losing 3-1 to Al Ittifaq on Thursday night.
Ronaldo was the captain in the whole match. He squandered an easy scoring chance in the first half. Coach Rudi Garcia disappointed with Ronaldo's performance, "Ronaldo's missed chances in the first half turned the game around."
