August 29, (THEWILL) – Al Nassr’s Portuguese superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo, was the standout performer once again, scoring two penalties and producing a dazzling display as he led his club to a resounding 4-0 victory over Al Shabab on Tuesday.
The win marked Al Nassr’s second consecutive thumping result. After losing their first two Saudi Pro League matches this season, Ronaldo and his teammates found themselves in an early hole in the title race. However, across their last two outings, they have scored nine goals without conceding.
Ronaldo himself has netted five of those goals, adding to his hat-trick last time out with another clinical brace on home soil. Sadio Mane and Sultan Al Ghanam got the other goals to round out a comprehensive scoreline for Al Nassr. Meanwhile, Al Shabab finished the match with 10 men after Ever Banega was dismissed for a reckless tackle, with a ban likely coming his way.
The Saudi top flight may have seen its star power increase dramatically this summer, but Ronaldo has shown he remains peerless, carrying Al Nassr to back-to-back crushing wins.
