This Friday, Al-Nassr achieved its first victory in the Saudi Professional League, beating Al-Fateh 5-0 on date 3 of the tournament. The great protagonist of the match was Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a hat-trick and provided an assist.
The scoring for the match was opened by Al-Nassr at minute 27 through Sadio Mané, who crossed an assist from Cristiano to leave him in a good position inside the area.
The second goal was put by Cristiano Ronaldo in the fraction 38, who began his show by noticing with a strong header after a cross from Sultan Al Ghannam from the right wing. This would be the first goal for the Portuguese this season in the league.
Already in the second half at minute 54, Cristiano secured the personal double and the win for his team. He scored after Abdulrahman Ghareeb left him alone in front of goal after taking advantage of the opposing goalkeeper’s exit.
In fraction 80 Al-Fateh had to discount, but Lucas Zelarayán crashed it into the post and the opportunity for his team was lost. The one who did not waste his was Sadio Mané a minute later, who headed his second of the night and Al-Nassr’s fourth.
With a minute to go, Cristiano Ronaldo closed with a flourish by scoring his third of the game and rounding off the final rout with a score of 5-0. The Portuguese pushed the ball with an empty goal after a low cross from Nawaf Boushal.
In this way, Al-Nassr achieved its first three points in the championship, after losing to Al-Taawoun and Al-Etiffaq in the first two rounds. Now the team directed by Luis Castro, is located in the tenth position of the Saudi tournament.
