Cristiano Ronaldo marked his Al Nassr return with a late goal as the defending Saudi Pro League champions cruised to a 4-0 victory over neighbours Al Riyadh.

Ronaldo had been a doubt due to a pelvic muscle injury, but was fit enough for a place on the bench as Ange Postecoglou’s men made it two wins from two in the league.

By the time he took to the pitch in the 62nd minute, the game was over as a contest.

Abdulelah Al-Amri headed Al Nassr into an 18th-minute lead from a corner from Angelo, who then turned goalscorer in first-half stoppage time.

Angelo slotted home at the far post after a neatly worked attacking move, and Joao Felix put the game beyond doubt in the 58th minute.

Felix cut onto his right foot and rolled into the bottom-right corner to make it 3-0, with the finishing touch coming from Ronaldo seven minutes from time.

Ronaldo’s goal was the pick of the bunch as he turned superbly while controlling Ayman Yahya’s low ball into the box, before thumping an emphatic finish beyond Milan Borjan.
