TELL ME MORE: Ronaldo scored his first Al-Nassr goal on Friday but it wasn't enough to seal all three points for his new side. However, the Portuguese superstar's stoppage-time penalty did ensure Al-Nassr came from behind to rescue a draw at Al-Fateh. New signing Cristian Tello had volleyed the hosts in front after just 12 minutes following a weak clearance from goalkeeper Agustín Rossi before Talisca levelled for Al-Nassr just before half-time, sweeping home a low cross. Sofiane Bendebka then volleyed home a brilliant goal just before the hour mark which looked set to be the winner. But there was to be late drama as Al-Nassr won a penalty deep into stoppage time - and Ronaldo made no mistake from the spot, firing his kick straight down the middle to secure a 2-2 draw.

THE MVP: Ronaldo may have been the biggest superstar on the pitch but there's no doubt that Al-Fateh's Sofiane Bendebkastole the show with a superb goal. The Algerian sneaked into space at the far post and cushioned a gorgeous volley past goalkeeper Rossi from a deep cross.
