Cristiano Ronaldo took advantage of a pre-match smoke show to smash home an opening goal for Al-Nassr – because Edouard Mendy couldn't see a thing.<\/p>\n
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner was on target after just four minutes as Al-Nassr took on Al-Alhi in the Saudi Pro League with the game kicking off as scene-setting smoke blew across the pitch. The 38-year-old made no apologies after drilling home a left footed shot from Sadio Mane's through ball as Champions League winner Mendy's complaints fell on the deaf ears of referee Anderson Daronco on Friday evening.<\/p>\n
After the goal was posted on Twitter, one reply said: "That penalty box is looking like The Undertaker's entrance." A second added: "Can the keeper even see."<\/p>\n

A third posted: "How's this even legal. The keeper can't even see man." A fourth said: "That\u2019s a bit harsh on the keeper."<\/p>\n
A fifth then pointed out: "Am sure even Ronaldo couldn\u2019t see, both of them guessed." A sixth concluded: "They should have halted the match."<\/p>\n
Mark William Calaway, better known by his ring name The Undertaker before his retirement, is considered one of the greatest names in WWE history – with his iconic entrance including a coffin and plenty of smoke.<\/p>\n

The game finished 4-3 in favour of Luis Castro's hosts with Ronaldo and Anderson Talisca both scoring twice.<\/p>\n
Franck Kessie, Riyad Mahrez and Feras Al Brikan's goals came in vain for the visitors, in a team that also included Roberto Firmino and Allan Saint-Maximin as well as Mendy. Ronaldo, Mane and Talisca were joined on the pitch at Al-Awwal Park by Aymeric Laporte, Alex Telles and Seko Fofana as they climbed up to fifth in the table.<\/p>\n
