Ronaldo scores his first goal since his return from a knee surgery over a year ago! Woohoo! We’ve all been waiting for this to happen. Some of us knew that it was just a matter of time, but there were some who doubted he’d come back as the Ronaldo we knew.
The International Herald Tribune reports:
Ronaldo scored his first goal since returning to football more than a year after knee surgery, heading a late equalizer for Corinthians in a 1-1 draw against rival Palmeiras in the Sao Paulo state championship on Sunday.
Ronaldo, on as a substitute, headed home from a corner three minutes into injury time, beating his marker at the far post to give Corinthians a point in Presidente Prudente.
“It was a wonderful moment for me,” Ronaldo said. “Especially with the match they way it was, with the team losing.”
Ronaldo ran toward Corinthians’ fans behind the goal and jumped onto a fence to celebrate and was mobbed by teammates and surrounded by reporters and photographers. Fans joined Ronaldo on the other side of the fence, partially bringing it down.
The Phenomenon is back! We love you, Ronaldo!
