Cristiano Ronaldo Scores Yet Again in Al Nassr Win

Ronaldo once more scored an important role in Al Nassr's win against their Tajik opponents, providing assists for Abdulrahman Ghareeb and Otavio to score Al Nassr's opening goals before adding two himself. Ronaldo even had another potential goal disallowed due to being offside.

Portuguese star goalkeeper Rui Costa had endured a difficult Champions League Group A matchup against Barcelona, winning just two out of seven ground duels. But he made amends later by rising highest to meet Sultan Al Ghannam's cross in La Liga and scoring.

Al-Nassr 3 Al-Wehda 1

Cristiano Ronaldo continues to shine in Saudi Arabia as Al Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo secure an exciting win against one of their local rivals, leaving Al Nassr unbeaten through eight league matches and leading the chase for top scorer's trophy.

Telles' free-kick had all of the hallmarks of Cristiano Ronaldo and gave the visitors a much-deserved lead. Al-Wehda pushed back, while Munir looked dangerous going forward; unfortunately they failed to capitalise on their great start and make use of it fully.

Al Nassr came close in the second half when Ronaldo set Ghareeb up with a neat pass, only for his attempt to hit the side-netting. Al-Nassr tried their luck with several crosses without success until, in the 89th minute, an incident between Ronaldo and a defender resulted in Al-Nassr winning a penalty after initially being disallowed by referee; this decision was eventually changed after consulting VAR, giving Al Nassr four points closer than Al Hilal.

Al-Nassr 0 Al-Tai 1

Al Nassr secured victory after their opening league game without Ronaldo by scoring with their first penalty of the season courtesy of their former Real Madrid and Juventus star's penalty kick. Ronaldo revived Al Nassr's slim chances at overthrowing Al Ittihad by three points head-to-head and three overall standings.

Ronaldo has been on fire since returning to Saudi Pro League action, providing assists for Abdulrahman Ghareeb and Otavio to score first two goals of each night before notching two scores himself for Ohod Club against whom they prevailed 5-1.

Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo had an opportunity to score when he broke through on right wing, but his shot hit crossbar instead of scoring. (87').

Al-Nassr 0 Al-Raed 1

Cristiano Ronaldo has made an immediate impact since joining Al Nassr this season. The Portuguese star starred in Al Nassr's opening match of the Arab Club Champions Cup, setting up Anderson Talisca for an early goal and then equalising in the second half with his trademark header goal.

Ronaldo scored Al Nassr's winning goal as they defeated Al Wehda 3-1 and kept pace with their record-setting 1,000 official career goals goal tally. It marked his 45th goal this year and kept Ronaldo on course towards reaching this mark.

Fouzair was also instrumental in Al Nassr's 3-0 victory against Al Raed on Saturday, capitalizing on a defensive error to score and guide his side to an important win as they edge closer to top two finish. Al Raed managed to pull one goal back late through Fouzair penalty but visitors held out for yet another consecutive win - their third consecutive!

Al-Nassr 0 Al-Batin 1

Cristiano Ronaldo produced yet another brilliant display for Al Nassr, helping them extend their two-point advantage at the top of the Saudi Pro League after beating rock-bottom Al Batin 4-0 at home. Ronaldo missed Al Duhail last week but was invigorated to score from Al Duhail last Saturday before scoring again off Renzo Lopez's header within eight minutes at home against Al Batin.

Anderson Talisca scored on an offside decision before Ronaldo hit a free-kick from the left before halftime.

Portugal superstar Cristiano Ronaldo failed to add any more goals after halftime but Al Nassr came close when Jaloliddin Masharipov sent over a cross that Ghareeb headed wide at the far post. A dramatic final 16 minutes saw Al Nassr come from behind with goals from Al Fatil and Mohammed Maran to equalise before Ghareeb sealed victory as Rudi Garcia's hosts completed an outstanding comeback.
