His marker lost balance and went down as he burst forward into open grass. Cheers followed from those nearby as he drove toward the area.
He then tried to set up a teammate, but a covering defender stepped in to clear, forcing a corner. Even without a final product, the skill alone became the talking point.

A dive into Cristiano Jr's career
At only 15, he remains in the early chapters of his journey, yet flashes like this fuel belief that he could build something special of his own.
His foundation has been shaped across respected youth setups. He spent time in the systems of Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United during different stages of his childhood before relocating to Saudi Arabia alongside his father.
Since then, he has featured in age grade competitions with Al Nassr, collecting silverware and gaining match exposure.
International duty has also brought bright moments. In November, he celebrated his first trophy with Portugal Under-15 at the Vlatko Markovic Tournament in Croatia, scoring twice in the final to help seal the title.
He later added another success by assisting Portugal's Under-16 in lifting the Federation Cup in Turkey in November 202, according to beIN Sports.
Ronaldo's snr nears 1000-goal mark
While his son creates early highlights, his father continues to chase history. The Portuguese legend, approaching 41, has reached 961 career goals as he moves toward the dream of hitting four figures.
Beyond personal numbers, he is also focused on helping Al Nassr return to the top domestically, with their last league crown coming in 2019.
Together, their stories show two paths at different stages, one nearing the final stretch, the other just beginning to unfold.
