RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Cristiano Ronaldo has failed to score in his Saudi Pro League debut for Al Nassr. But his presence electrified fans at King Saud University Stadium as the team beat Ettifaq 1-0 to retake first place. Talisca headed the winner in the 31st minute when Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem’s cross was too high for Ronaldo. Ronaldo didn’t seem to mind as he wheeled around to celebrate with the Brazilian midfielder and the rest of his new teammates. Al Nassr moved a point ahead of defending champion Al Hilal.
