"Ronaldo saw a volley smothered in the first 21 seconds, before Bento was twice forced into early action to deny both Abdulaziz Al Dhuwayhi and Omar Al Somah. Coman then threaded it through to Ronaldo in the box, with the 41-year-old dinking the opener over Ibrahim Zaied from a tight angle in the 13th minute. The goal was initially disallowed for offside, before VAR overturned the decision."
"Coman then raced in behind Al-Hazem's defence to meet Joao Felix's low pass, sliding in to double Al-Nassr's lead on the half-hour mark. Ronaldo was then denied twice by the offside flag on either side of half-time. Before the break, he set off too early before slotting past Zaied on the turn, while a fine volleyed finish was also ruled out for an obvious offside."
"Ronaldo is now up to 20 goals for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League this season as he continues his hunt for 1,000 career goals (now 964), and he currently looks unstoppable. His first goal on Saturday was actually the 500th he has scored after turning 30, having netted 463 before then. He could easily have had a hat-trick during a dominant performance; he led Al-Nassr for shots (seven), shots on target (five), expected goals (1.33 xG) and touches in the opposition box"
Al-Nassr defeated Al-Hazem 4-0 with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring in both halves and Kingsley Coman providing a goal and two assists. The victory moved Al-Nassr to the top of the Saudi Pro League after Al-Hilal dropped points. Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 13th minute via a Coman pass after VAR overturned an offside decision, and Coman doubled the lead on 30 minutes from Joao Felix's low pass. Two subsequent Ronaldo efforts were ruled out for offside either side of half-time. Angelo added a third before Ronaldo completed his brace with a powerful finish. Ronaldo now has 20 league goals and 964 career goals.
