Ronaldo shines, Al Nassr reclaims top spot in SPL

In the early morning of September 21, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a double to help Al Nassr defeat Al Riyadh 5-1 to return to the top of the Saudi Pro League.

Ronaldo maintains impressive form.

In the 33rd minute at Al-Awwal Park, Joao Felix pierced through Al Riyadh's defense, opening up space for Cristiano Ronaldo to break through. The Portuguese striker coolly fired a shot into the far corner, raising the score to 3-0 for Al Nassr.

In the 76th minute, Kingsley Coman crossed for Ronaldo to tap the ball into the net close to Al Riyadh, thereby completing his second double in his last four appearances at all levels.

Ronaldo scored his 102nd and 103rd goals for Al Nassr, moving one step closer to the 1,000-goal mark. He now has a total of 945 goals in a career spanning more than two decades.

On the day Ronaldo found his scoring touch again, Joao Felix and Kingsley Coman took turns giving Al Nassr the advantage in the first half. In the 49th minute, Felix completed his double with a sharp run and finish.

The former Atletico Madrid star has been in impressive form since arriving in the Saudi Pro League. Felix has contributed to 6 goals (5 goals, 1 assist) in just 3 games. Meanwhile, Sadio Mane has been disappointing. He had many good chances, especially one-on-one with the goalkeeper in the 16th minute, but finished poorly.

What the away team could only do was score an honorary goal by foreign player Mamadou Sylla.

3 points at home helped Al Nassr reclaim the top spot from Al Ittihad with the same 9 points but ranked higher thanks to a better goal difference (11 vs 6).
