"Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Al-Nassr defeated Al-Okhdood 3-0 to restore their four-point lead at the top of the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo netted both of his goals before the break, and saw a third strike disallowed, before Joao Felix wrapped up the win in second-half stoppage time as the hosts made it 10 wins from 10 in the league this season."
"After seeing three early attempts fail to hit the back of the net, Ronaldo broke the deadlock in the 31st minute. Abdulelah Al Amri flicked Joao Felix's corner towards the back post, where Ronaldo was on hand to tap in. And the 40-year-old doubled Al-Nassr's advantage on the stroke of half-time, instinctively finishing past Samuel Portugal with a first-time shot from Marcelo Brozovic's low cross."
"It was a fairly routine win for Al-Nassr, who produced 3.14 expected goals (xG) from 15 shots to Al-Okhdood's 0.47 from just four attempts. Ronaldo accounted for 1.63 of that xG for the home side, registering the most shots in the match (five), as he moved level with Joao Felix at the top of the Saudi Pro League scorers' chart with 12 goals."
Al-Nassr beat Al-Okhdood 3-0 with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring twice before half-time and Joao Felix sealing the victory in stoppage time. Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 31st minute from a flicked corner and doubled on the stroke of half-time with a first-time finish from Marcelo Brozovic's low cross. Kingsley Coman struck the woodwork in the second half and Ronaldo had a potential hat-trick ruled out for offside after a VAR review. Al-Nassr generated 3.14 expected goals from 15 shots versus Al-Okhdood's 0.47 from four attempts, and Ronaldo and Joao Felix sit level on 12 league goals.
