Video: Ronaldo Showcases Traditional Saudi Dance After Scoring Two Goals in the First Half Against Al Shabab
Cristiano Ronaldo paid a tribute to Saudi Arabia following his impressive performance, securing a brace against Al Shabab. The 38-year-old football icon deviated from his well-known Siuuu celebration after his second goal, opting instead to display his adeptness at the Samba dance. This achievement brings his recent goal count to five across all competitions in the last three matches.
During the Saudi Pro League match between Al-Nassr and Al Shabab on Tuesday evening, Cristiano Ronaldo delighted fans by incorporating a traditional Saudi dance into his celebrations after expertly scoring two goals in the first half.
Ronaldo, who has been consistently finding the back of the net, managed to net twice in the opening half of the game, greatly contributing to the dominant victory of the Knights of Najd at Al-Awwal Park.
The former star of Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus kick-started the scoring with a perfectly executed penalty in the 13th minute.
Just five minutes later, he found the net again, only to have his elation cut short as the Video Assistant Referee disallowed the goal.
However, displaying resilience, the recipient of the prestigious Ballon d'Or award on five occasions capitalized on another penalty opportunity just before halftime, according to reports from BBC.
His accurate penalty execution prompted Ronaldo to showcase his dancing abilities, momentarily putting his renowned Siuuu celebration on hold. Instead, he chose to pay homage to Saudi culture by unveiling his dance moves.

He also chose to forgo the chance of securing a second consecutive hat-trick when he passed the opportunity to Abdulrahman Ghareeb, who had struggled to score in the previous games he played, according to Fan Nation.
Unfortunately, Ronaldo's selfless act didn't yield any results, as Ghareeb missed his shot from the penalty spot.
