As the night wore on, the star-studded Cron reappeared on the battlefield of the Saudi League in the early hours of Saturday morning (29th), ending his three-match goal drought with a header just four minutes into the game, helping Ainas to a 4-0 win at home over the Laddies.
Prior to that, Cron had suffered a goal drought, and Ainas had not tasted victory, which certainly proved the importance of his form to the team. Now, the 38-year-old Portuguese veteran played a key role in this game, shortly after the start of the teammates on the right side of the precise cross, grabbed in front of the goal a fish header to break the opponent's goal, which is his career 835th goal, including 713 goals in club matches.
In the second half, Crown was fouled in the penalty area, but the referee did not give him a penalty kick, which made the scorer feel frustrated. Fortunately, his teammates didn't let him down, and Ainas scored 3 more goals in the second half to beat Lade 4-0, finally ending the team's embarrassing 3-game winless streak.
Despite the win, Ainas are still three points adrift of table-topping Ittihad and with a game in hand, it will not be easy to overtake them as leaders.
