In the 18th minute, from Sadio Mane's breakthrough on the left wing, the ball was crossed conveniently into the penalty area. Ronaldo moved to cut in front of the opponent's defense before finishing in one touch with his right foot, putting the ball into the far corner, giving goalkeeper Fernando Pacheco no chance to save.
This is the Portuguese striker's 18th goal in the domestic league this season, thereby continuing to maintain his position in the top scorer race. In addition to the above goal, Ronaldo also had some notable finishing situations in the match but could not convert them into goals.
Despite creating an overwhelming game, Al-Nassr had to wait until the 78th minute to double the gap. From a handling on the left wing, Ayman Yahya launched a powerful shot into the near corner, sealing a 2-0 victory for the away team.
The victory over Al-Fateh also marked Al-Nassr's 5th consecutive clean sheet in the Saudi Pro League this season. At the same time, the Riyadh team extended their winning streak to 6. The three points earned helped Al-Nassr have 52 points, narrowing the gap with the leading team Al-Hilal to 1 point.
In 90 minutes on the field, Ronaldo played actively and maintained an absolute accurate passing rate, making an important contribution to helping Al-Nassr control the game and maintain the advantage until the end of the match.
