Playing at Al-Awwal Park, Al-Nassr quickly took the initiative against an opponent in the bottom group of the rankings. The home team controlled the ball superiorly and created continuous pressure on the Al-Okhdood defense right from the first minutes of the match.
After some missed opportunities, the turning point came in the 31st minute. From a corner kick on the left wing, the ball was headed into the penalty area and Ronaldo appeared at the right time to cushion the ball from close range, opening the score for Al-Nassr. The goal showed the Portuguese striker's ability to choose positions and finish sharply despite turning 40.
At the end of the first half, Al-Okhdood's defense continued to reveal gaps. Marcelo Brozovic escaped down the right wing before crossing in. Although the ball was not favorable, Ronaldo still managed to handle it delicately to score the second goal, doubling the lead for the home team. After this goal, the Al-Awwal Park stadium was filled with familiar cheers for the Portuguese superstar.
Stepping into the second half, Al-Nassr actively slowed down the pace of the match when they had a safe advantage. Coach Jorge Jesus's team still controlled the game but did not push up the speed. Ronaldo played the full 90 minutes but did not have many clear opportunities.
In the final minutes of the match, Joao Felix scored another goal, sealing a 3-0 victory for Al-Nassr. With a double against Al-Okhdood, Ronaldo raised his career total goals to 956 goals after 1,300 professional matches, and also rose to the top of the scoring list in the Saudi Pro League this season with Joao Felix, with 12 goals.
This victory helps Al-Nassr continue to maintain the top spot and create favorable psychological momentum before the away match at Al Ettifaq stadium in the next round, taking place on the evening of December 30.
