Ronaldo scored 11 goals in 11 appearances for Al Nassrr
Ronaldo opened the scoring for Al Nassr before the penultimate team Al Adalah in the 40th minute from the penalty spot. Defender Abdulelah Al Amri was cut down by Abdulaziz Al Jamman in the penalty area and the referee initially waved his hand without blowing the whistle. However, after being consulted by VAR to review the situation, the referee blew a penalty for the visitors and Ronaldo shot 11m into the lower left corner to knock out goalkeeper Milan Mijatovic. Captain Al Nassr celebrates the table in a familiar swing dance style.
Ronaldo scored a brace in the 66th minute from a better tackle. Receiving the ball from about 30 meters to the left, he led into the penalty area, turned his left foot and then hit the corner to score the third goal for Al Nassr in this match. Ronaldo congratulated the table by putting his hands together in front of his chest, and the two teammates did the same. This is his 11th goal in nine matches in the Saudi League, placing fifth in the top scorer race.
Sofascore statistics give Ronaldo 8.2 points in this match, but only second. Teammate Anderson Talisca was given the maximum 10 points, with a brace like Ronaldo. Talisca increased the score to 2-0 in the 55th minute with a beautiful diagonal left foot shot. In the 78th minute, Ayman Yahya poked a slot for the Brazilian striker to jump down and hit the ball over the goalkeeper’s head to raise the score to 7-0. Yahya himself then scored the winning goal of 5-0, also receiving 8.2 points like Ronaldo.
