Ronaldo shines, Al Nassr takes sole top spot in SPL

In the early morning of September 27, Cristiano Ronaldo scored to help Al Nassr defeat Al Ittihad 2-0 in round 4 of the Saudi Pro League.

Al Nassr won the match by 6 points.

In the 35th minute of the match at King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, Ronaldo passed the ball to the left wing for Sadio Mane, before moving close to the goal and unleashing a dangerous header, giving the home team's goalkeeper no chance to block it.

Ronaldo scored his 946th career goal, sealing a 2-0 victory for Al Nassr against the reigning SPL champions. Coach Jorge Jesus' team maintained their winning streak from the beginning of the season and took sole possession of the top spot with 12 points, 3 and 4 points ahead of Al Ittihad and Al Hilal respectively.

Mane, who has been criticized since the start of the season for his lackluster performances, became the hero for Al Nassr in the important match. Before assisting Ronaldo, the former Bayern star himself shone with a classy left-footed volley, putting the visitors ahead. The owner of the assist was Kingsley Coman, who is in good form, having contributed to 8 goals in just 6 recent appearances.

"This is the class of Al Nassr," Ronaldo shared on his personal page after the victory.

Meanwhile, coach Jesus said: "We are constantly improving. I have only been working with the team for 3 months, while Al Ittihad has been building the project for 3 years. The whole team is constantly improving tactically."

Next week, Al Nassr will play in the AFC Champions League Two against Al Zawraa. Ronaldo is likely to be rested.
