Ronaldo bagged a hat-trick for Al-Nasr during the half and was unexpectedly substituted at half-time

Al-Nassr visited Abha for a match in the 26th round of the Saudi Pro League. This match turned out to be another showcase for the star forward of the visiting team, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Portuguese forward completed a hat-trick in the first half alone. Ronaldo struck the opponent's net in the 11th, 21st, and 42nd minutes. Additionally, Cristiano provided an assist.

The tireless Cristiano secured a hat-trick for the second consecutive match. The Portuguese forward netted three goals against Al-Taawoun in the previous round. In total, the 39-year-old Ronaldo has scored 36 goals in all competitions this season.

Interestingly, Luis Castro decided to substitute the Portuguese quite early, sending him to the bench. The leader of Al-Nassr rested after the first 45 minutes and did not return for the second half.
