Ronaldo's goals were scored in the 64th, 67th and 87th minutes, after Ghareeb and Otavio scored two goals for Al Nassr in the 20th and 45+7th minutes. The consolation goal for the visiting team Al Tai was scored by Misidjan in the 22nd minute, but more than 10 minutes later this player received a red card and left the field, causing the home team to play with one less player and collapse.
Ronaldo finds joy again after a week of unhappy competition with the Portuguese national team
This is Ronaldo's first hat-trick since August 2023, and the 64th hat-trick of his career. Thereby, the Portuguese player increased his number of goals in the race for the top scorer of the Saudi Pro League to 26 goals, far surpassing his opponent Mitrovic of Al Hilal Club who has 22 goals.
"This is how we do it. Great win and another hat-trick!", Ronaldo wrote on his personal social network account X (formerly Twitter). This is also Ronaldo's first optimistic tweet after nearly a week since he returned to the Portuguese national team to play, but could not help in the 0-2 loss to Slovenia on March 27.
Despite helping Al Nassr win big against Al Tai, Ronaldo and his teammates are still far behind their opponents, Al Hilal, who are leading the Saudi Pro League, with a gap of up to 12 points after 25 rounds. It seems that the chance to compete for the championship is still very far away.
Al Nassr is 12 points behind the leader Al Hilal.
In the next match, Ronaldo and his teammates will visit Abha Club, the team ranked second to last in the rankings at 2:00 a.m. on April 3. Ronaldo will have more opportunities to increase the number of goals, but the possibility of Al Nassr shortening the score against Al Hilal is quite low, as this opponent is still unbeaten and the Saudi Pro League has only 6 more rounds to end.
