In the early morning of March 31 (Vietnam time), Al-Nassr hosted Al-Taee in round 25 of Saudi Pro League 2023-2024. Against the team ranked in the red light group, Cristiano Ronaldo won 5-1, including a hat-trιck from the Portuguese superstar .

Playing at home, Al-Nassr completely overwhelmed the opponent with a ball control rate of up to 69%. Many opportunities were created in front of the away team’s goal, however, the finishing efficiency in the first half was very low.

With 9 shots, Al-Nassr only had the ball on target 2 times, of which the goal came after 20 minutes of play when Otavio was the one to score. It was a cross for Ronaldo, but the 39-year-old striker did not head it successfully, the ball headed straight into the goal, surprising the away goalkeeper.

However, just 2 minutes later, the away team scored a beautiful equalizer, passing and scoring from distance by Virgil Misidjan.

But it was also the Dutch player who caused the away team to collapse when he received a second yellow card in the 36th minute.

In the 7th minute of ιnjury time of the first half, Abdulrahman Ghareeb restored Al-Nassr’s advantage when he ran wisely, caught Sadio Mane’s cross, and scored a header.

After the break, many opportunities were created for the home team but besides Ronaldo, no one took advantage of them successfully.

The 39-year-old striker still shows determination and astuteness in seizing opportunities. In minutes 65, 67 and 78, the former Real Madrid striker scored 3 goals, setting the score 5-1 for Al-Nassr.

This is also the 64th hat-trιck of Ronaldo’s career and increased the number of goals in his career to 882.
