Another performance by Ronaldo. Al-Nassr, with a hat-trick from Cristiano, defeated Al-Tai
Al-Nassr hosted Al-Tai as part of the 25th round of the Saudi Pro League.
The favorite easily defeated the underdog, although they tried to resist in the first half. The yellow-blues opened the scoring in the 20th minute but conceded an equalizer just two minutes later.
However, this only motivated the hosts, who also gained a numerical advantage in the first half. In injury time of the first half, Garib, assisted by Mane, put Al-Nassr ahead for the second time.
In the second half of the game, it was Cristiano Ronaldo's time to shine. The star Portuguese player scored a brace within two minutes. And towards the end of the match, he struck again. Cristiano now has 33 goals in all competitions this season.
Al-Nassr, with 59 points, sits in second place in the league table. Al-Tai is in 16th place.
