Ronaldo has five goals and two assists in four games for the Saudi Arabian outfit.
But CR7 was close to picking up an injury ahead of Al-Nassr’s clash with Al-Taawoun on Friday.
In the pre-game warm-up, a fan ran on the pitch hoping to meet the five-time Champions League and Ballon d’Or winner.
But as he approached the player and other Al-Nassr stars, he slipped at Ronaldo’s feet.
Ronaldo sidestepped the star-struck fan and a security guard, who was in hot pursuit.
The ex-Manchester United ace went on to play a blinder, assisting two in the 2-1 win.
One of his cutting-edge passes earned rave reviews.
With the ball in the Al-Nassr defensive half, the ball fell to Ronaldo who had spotted winger Abdulrahman Ghareeb making a run down the left flank.

Ronaldo then launched a first-time pass towards the Saudi Arabia international.
Ghareeb then skipped pass a backpedalling defender before converging down on goal and whipping the ball into the corner past goalkeeper Mailson.
