Having home field advantage against Al Wehda, Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates proactively pressed high and soon scored a goal.

In the 5th minute, the Al Wehda goalkeeper missed the goal but passed the ball right to Ronaldo’s feet. The Portuguese superstar’s mission is just to shoot into an empty net and open the score. In the 12th minute, Ronaldo completed the double with a high rebound and header from Marcelo Brozovic’s precise drop pass.
Al Wehda’s defense lacked concentration and allowed Ronaldo to complete his hat-trick in the 52nd minute. The former MU star ran, caught Mane’s through ball, before launching a powerful shot that hit the roof of the away team’s net. After that, Al Nassr scored 3 more goals to complete the 6-0 victory.
Despite a big win, Al Nassr no longer has much hope of winning the Saudi Arabia championship as they are 9 points behind top team Al Hilal with only 4 rounds left in the season until the end.
However, for CR7 personally, the 3 goals in this match are very meaningful as the Portuguese superstar has 890 goals in his career, only 10 goals away from the 900 goal milestone.
