Gulf Today Report

In a striking shot in the Saudi league, a powerful free kick by Al Nasr’s star Cristiano Ronaldo hit the head of a cameraman past the goal, causing him to lost his balance and staggered from the force of the strike.

This was on Saturday evening during a match between Al Nassr and Al Raed at the King Abdullah Stadium.

A video filmed from the crowd showed Ronaldo’s free kick attempt sailing past the goal and hitting the cameraman on the head.

Despite being hit with a venomous Ronaldo strike, the cameraman stayed as professional as he could by holding onto the camera whilst trying to stay on his feet.

Ronaldo shone during his team's match against Al Raed, and scored a goal with high skill, during the match that ended 3-1 for Al Nasr.

As a result of their win against Al Raed, Al Nassr moved up to sixth place in the Saudi Professional League table.
