Ronaldo’s Sensational Hat-Trick Propels Al Nassr to Crushing Victory in Saudi Pro League

In a stunning display of skill and dominance, Cristiano Ronaldo orchestrated a remarkable victory for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, securing back-to-back hat-tricks with a scintillating performance against Abha. At the age of 39, the Portuguese star displayed his lasting talent, scoring three goals and assisting twice in just the first half. His stellar performance greatly contributed to his team’s resounding 8-0 victory at the Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium on Tuesday.

Ronaldo’s masterclass began with a trademark freekick, expertly maneuvering the ball under the wall to open the scoring. Ten minutes later, he doubled the lead with another precise freekick that found its way through a gap in the wall, leaving the opposition goalkeeper helpless.

Continuing his relentless assault, Ronaldo turned provider by setting up former Liverpool and Bayern Munich star Sadio Mane, before adding to his tally with a sublime long-range chip over the keeper, completing his 65th career hat-trick.

Even after being substituted at halftime, Ronaldo’s influence lingered as Al Nassr maintained their momentum, with Portuguese midfielder Otavio stepping up to assist Abdulrahman Ghareeb for a spectacular top-corner finish early in the second half. The dominance of Al Nassr was further highlighted by halftime substitute Abdulaziz Al-Aliwa, who scored twice to seal the comprehensive victory.

With his exceptional performance, Ronaldo solidified his position as the leading scorer in the Saudi Pro League this season, amassing an impressive total of 29 goals. Despite his brilliance, Al Nassr finds themselves in second place in the league standings, trailing league leaders Al Hilal by 12 points.

Looking ahead, Al Nassr will aim to build on their recent success as they prepare to face Damac in their upcoming league fixture. Ronaldo’s extraordinary contribution continues to inspire his team as they strive for success in the remainder of the season.
