The 38-year-old forward also scored the 500th and 501st league goals of his trophy-laden career.
Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated another milestone moment in his phenomenal career after netting his 500th league goal on Thursday with Al-Nassr.
Ronaldo, who scored his first league goal for Al Nassr last week – a crucial penalty in the 93rd minute, showed his class in front of goal on Thursday evening.
In the 21st minute, after taking a couple of touches inside the penalty area, he fired a powerful shot past the Al Wehda goalkeeper to put Rudi Garcia’s side ahead.

The five-time Ballon d’Or was a constant headache for the Al Wehda defence throughout the first half.
And with 41 minutes played, Ronaldo scored his second of the game to make it three goals in two matches for the experienced forward, who became the highest-paid athlete in the world after joining the Saudi Pro League club in December.
Ronaldo eventually scored four goals against Al-Wehda giving AL-Nassr a resounding victory.
