Portuguese superstar Cron has been on a roll since joining Saudi Arabian side Ainas, scoring four goals in the last round of the tournament, and then again late on Friday (17), when he made two assists, including a scalpel pass, to help Ainas to a 2-1 home win over Al Ta'ayawin.
Although Cron had no goals in the match, his performance was still very eye-catching. 17 minutes into the match, the 38-year old veteran was close to the center line, and with a precise pass, he set up his teammate Gareth Gallegos for a one-touch goal.
After the change of sides, Ainas was able to equalize 1-1, but Cron was the savior of the game in the 78th minute, when he got the ball in front of the goal, but he didn't shoot it himself, instead he passed it back to his better positioned teammate, Abdulhamadou, to make it 2-1.
The last time Cron contributed 2 assists in a single game was on September 29, 2018, when he helped Zuyuntas beat Napoli 3-1.
After the game, netizens praised Cron's first goal pass is too wonderful, that his transmission and assisting ability, no less than his arch rival Meis, and some people think that Cron is finally willing to transform, more for teammates to pave the way for his own and Ainas is a good thing.
