With the Portuguese superstar's stable performance, Al-Nassr is showing superior strength in the championship race this season and raising their winning streak since the beginning of the season to 6 matches.
Against an opponent who was rated lower, Al-Nassr quickly took control of the game and created a series of dangerous opportunities. In the 25th minute, Joao Felix opened the scoring with an accurate header after a cross from Aiman Yahya.
The early goal helped the away team play more excitedly, continuously pressing the field and keeping goalkeeper Bruno Varela's goal in an alarming state. A long-range shot by Angelo rocked the crossbar, while Felix' shot was blocked right on the goal line.
In the second half, the game was still in Al-Nassr's hands. Ronaldo was active and repeatedly caused the opponent's defense to waver. After missing the opportunity in the 50th minute, the 39-year-old star affirmed his class at the right time. In the 88th minute, he received a pass from Wesley and then fired a dangerous low shot, the ball bounced into the far corner, causing Varela to completely lose everything, sealing a 2-0 victory.
This was Ronaldo's 6th goal in the Saudi Arabian national championship this season and the fourth consecutive match he scored. Meanwhile, Joao Felix has also scored 9 goals, achieving a level playing efficiency equal to Aleksandar Mitrovic's record last season.
With 18 absolute points, scoring 21 goals and conceding only 2 goals in 6 matches, coach Jorge Jesus and his team are showing almost perfect form. If they continue to maintain this stability, Al-Nassr can completely break through to aim for the championship this season.
