Al-Nasr defeated its guest, Al-Akhdood, with three unanswered goals, in the match that brought them together at Al-Awal Park Stadium for the fourteenth round of the Saudi League.
Coach Luis Castro's squad, Sami Al-Naji, gave the lead in the 13th minute, and while the visitors were trying to come back, Cristiano Ronaldo excelled in killing the match after scoring two goals in the 77th and 80th minutes.
Ronaldo raised his tally of goals to 15 goals, at the top of the Roshen League’s top scorers’ standings, 5 goals ahead of the closest pursuer, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Al Hilal striker.
This goal was Ronaldo's 48th goal in 2023, whether in a Portugal shirt or Al-Nasr in all tournaments, and it is also the 867th goal in his career in general.
It is noteworthy that Al-Nasr’s score increased to 34 points in second place in the Saudi League, while Al-Akhdood’s score froze at 10 points in 16th place.
The difference between Al-Nasr and the leader of the standings, Al-Hilal, narrowed to one point, until the Blue Wave faced it in the same round with Al-Hazm on Saturday evening.
It is worth noting that Al-Nasr will be a guest of Al-Hilal at King Fahd International Stadium on December 1, but before that, it will face Persepolis on Monday in the AFC Champions League.
