Ammon News - Cristiano Ronaldo says Al Nassr will “keep believing until the end” after he helped reignite the club’s Saudi Pro League title bid.

The Portuguese forward, signed in December, scored a penalty in his team’s 2-0 victory at Al Tai on Tuesday night as the second-placed side closed the gap on leaders Al Ittihad, who threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Al Hilal.

The results mean Nassr sit three points behind Ittihad with three rounds remaining.

Posting on Instagram after breathing life back into Nassr’s hopes of a first Saudi title in four years, Ronaldo said: “Important win tonight, three more games ahead! We keep believing until the end!”

Ronaldo, 38, gave Nassr the lead against Al Tai not long into the second half, converting from the spot to take his tally for the club to 13 goals in 14 league matches.
Nassr are next in action on May 23, when they host third-placed Al Shabab, while Al Ittihad entertain bottom club Al Batin in Jeddah.
