Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane continued their impressive goal-scoring streaks as Al-Nassr secured back-to-back victories in the Saudi Pro League, comfortably defeating Al-Shabab. Ronaldo showcased his prowess by scoring a brace from the penalty spot, while Mane and Sultan Al Ghannam also found the back of the net, leading the Knights of Najd to a commanding 4-0 win at the Al-Awwal Park on Tuesday evening.
Coming off their first win of the season, Luis Castro’s team started the game with great intensity and were rewarded when Ronaldo, their talismanic figure, converted a penalty in the 13th minute.
Just five minutes later, Ronaldo displayed his exceptional ability by skillfully connecting with a Marcelo Brozovic header to score his second goal of the match.
Unfortunately, the 38-year-old’s celebration was short-lived as a controversial VAR decision annulled his goal. However, this setback did not deter him, and he went on to score his second goal of the game, replicating his earlier penalty success.
Shortly thereafter, CR7 played a crucial role in Al-Nassr’s third goal, providing an assist to Mane, the former Liverpool star, who scored his fourth goal of the season just five minutes before halftime.
