In the Saudi Arabian League on Sunday morning (19th), Ainas star Cron broke his 3-game goal drought and scored a 35-yard cannonball penalty to help Ainas to a 2-1 win over Eberhard at home. The 38-year-old Portuguese veteran then gave way to a 12-yard shot that set up a goal by his striker partner Talisca, showing his selflessness.

The two teams just met in the last King's Cup, Ainas won 3-1 against Eberhard. In that match, Crown did not score any goal, but he lost his temper and kicked away a goal because he was not satisfied with the decision of the referee, he was sentenced to a yellow card.

The two sides met again in the league this year. Eberhard opened the scoring in the 26th minute of the first half, and Ainas poured on the attack, but it looked like a rat pulling a tortoise, and there was no way to score. In the 78th minute, Cron played the role of savior, 35 yards away from the goal of the main penalty kick into the net, scored his 59th career penalty kick goals, also following the last April.

After the game against Norwich, he scored a penalty kick after almost a year to help Ainas equalize 1-1.

It's worth mentioning that Cron has scored for the first time at home in two months since joining Ainas, and all eight of his previous goals for the Saudi giants were in away matches.

The battle went to the 84th minute when Ainas gained 12 yards and Cron had a chance to

score twice in a row

He was the hero, but he chose to give the lead to Talisca, hoping to help his recently recovered partner regain his scoring touch. Talisca was able to do just that and put the ball in the back of the net to give Ainas a 2-1 win.
