"French forward Coman added a second on the half-hour after being set up by João Felix following a swift passing move and Ronaldo had another goal just before the break ruled out for offside. After Ronaldo was denied by another offside flag, Brazilian Angelo made it 3-0 in the 77th minute with a fine individual run from inside his own half."
"Ronaldo finally got his second of the match with 10 minutes to go, latching on to a short pass from Coman into the left side of the penalty area before drilling in an angled drive. Following another VAR review for offside, the goal stood as Al Nassr closed out an eighth straight league win, which moved them a point above rivals Al Hilal, who were held to a 1-1 draw at home by 10-man Al Ittihad."
Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, scored twice as Al Nassr defeated Al Hazem 4-0 to move top of the Saudi Pro League. He had missed two league matches and an AFC Cup game earlier this month after reportedly going on strike over the club's lack of January transfer business, then opened the scoring after 13 minutes from a Kingsley Coman assist. The opening goal came after a VAR offside check and marked Ronaldo's 500th since turning 30. Coman added a second on the half-hour from João Felix's set-up. Angelo made it 3-0 in the 77th minute with a long individual run, and Ronaldo sealed the win with a late second after a VAR review confirmed the goal. The victory was Al Nassr's eighth straight league win and moved them a point above Al Hilal, who drew 1-1 with 10-man Al Ittihad.
