Cristiano Ronaldo has shaken up Saudi football again


Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo had another strong performance for his new club Al-Nasser, scoring a hat-trick in a 3-0 away win over Damak. The Portuguese scored three goals in the first half alone.

He opened the scoring after scoring from the penalty spot in the 18th minute. Four minutes later he doubled after receiving from Al Ghanam and with a low shot from the edge of the penalty area he sents the ball into the right corner for 0:2. A minute before the break, the hat trick was a fact.

This time Cristiano was awarded around the penalty spot and could do no wrong from that position. In the 67th minute, Ronaldo sent the ball into the opponent's goal for the fourth time, but his goal was canceled due to an ambush. There were no new goals until the end.

Thus, CR7 registered the 62nd hat-trick of his career. Interestingly, the first 30 of them were recorded before the Portuguese's 30th year, and then he already has 32 of them. In his previous three matches, Ronaldo has contributed to nine goals for Al-Nasser, scoring seven and providing two assists.

The team's last ten goals at all have been scored or assisted by the former Manchester United player. Al-Nasser continues to lead the Saudi league, two points ahead of Al-Ittihad and three ahead of Al-Shabaab. Champions Al-Hilal trail by as many as 11 points, but also have three games in hand.
