Cristiano Ronaldo led Al-Nassr to a comfortable 3-1 victory over Al Kholood in Friday night’s Saudi Pro League action.
The match saw early fireworks from Ronaldo, who opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a superb right-footed finish from the center of the box.
Al-Nassr doubled their lead in the 26th minute when Sadio Mane converted a cross from Salem Al Najdi, slotting the ball into the bottom right corner.

Jhon Duran made it 3-0 in the 41st minute with a spectacular left-footed strike from outside the box, capping off a brilliant first-half display by Al-Nassr.
Al Kholood struggled to break through but showed some signs of life with Jackson Muleka and Alex Collado attempting shots from distance, only to be denied by Al-Nassr goalkeeper Bento Krepski.
They pulled one back with an own goal, but even Al Nassr defender Nawaf Al-Boushail’s second yellow card was not enough to derail the hosts.
