Ronaldo Scores in First Game Back After COVID-19 Bout

It took Cristiano Ronaldo just three minutes of action on Sunday to score his first goal back since testing positive for COVID-19.

Ronaldo entered in the 56th minute of Juventus’ Serie A match against Spezia and found the left corner of the goal just three minutes later. 

Ronaldo first tested positive for COVID-19 on Oct. 13 while on international duty with Portugal. The Portuguese Federation announced at the time that he was “doing well, without symptoms, and in isolation.” He returned to Turin two days later to finish his isolation period at home.

All of Ronaldo’s subsequent tests described him as asymptomatic.

On Friday, Juventus announced he tested negative for COVID-19 and no longer has to isolate. 

The Portuguese star has missed two Serie A matches, a pair of 1-1 draws against Crotone
