"Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 16th Saudi Pro League goal of the season as Al-Nassr defeated Damac 2-1 on Wednesday to make it back-to-back victories. Jamal Harkass pulled a goal back for Damac after Ronaldo had added to Abdulrahman Ghareeb's early opener, but Al-Nassr saw out the win at Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium. The victory moves Al-Nassr, who snapped a three-game losing streak with victory against Al-Shabab at the weekend, four points behind leaders Al-Hilal having played a game more."
"Ronaldo fired a rare blank last time out, but the Portugal forward was played in behind by international team-mate Joao Felix five minutes into the second half and delicately finished to add to his tally for the season. The visitors did not have things all their own way, though, as Harkass glanced in a fine header with 68 minutes played to give Damac hope of snapping their eight-match losing streak against Al-Nassr in the league."
Al-Nassr defeated Damac 2-1 in Abha with goals from Abdulrahman Ghareeb and Cristiano Ronaldo, securing consecutive wins and halting a run of away defeats. Ghareeb opened inside five minutes with a composed finish from 12 yards, and Ronaldo doubled the lead early in the second half after a Joao Felix assist. Jamal Harkass pulled one back with a header on 68 minutes, but Al-Nassr held on despite an offside ruling denying a further Ronaldo goal. Al-Nassr generated 1.54 expected goals from 14 shots and moved four points behind Al-Hilal having played one extra match.
