"The 10 men fell further behind when Ronaldo tucked home his ninth goal of the Pro League season, converting from the penalty spot after Joao Felix was fouled by Abdoulaye Doucoure. Doucoure pushed Joao Felix to the turf in an effort to prevent him pouncing on a rebound after Luís Maximiano had denied Ronaldo from close range following a poor pass from Nathan Zeze. Ronaldo made no mistake from 12 yards, though Al-Nassr did not quite put the game to bed."
"Abdo made amends for straying offside earlier, confidently converting after Al-Nassr were caught out by a routine long ball forward. However, Joao Felix ensured there was no late comeback, rattling home a superb long-range strike in the 89th minute after Ali Al-Asmari had cheaply given the ball away. The goal was Joao Felix's 10th of what has been a superb season for the former Atletico Madrid man following his move from Chelsea."
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 953rd career goal as Al-Nassr beat NEOM 3-1 to record an eighth successive Saudi Pro League victory. Angelo Gabriel opened the scoring in the 47th minute, and NEOM lost Alexandre Lacazette to injury in the first half. Luciano Rodriguez was sent off for elbowing Nawaf Boushal, leaving NEOM with ten men. Ronaldo converted a penalty after Joao Felix was fouled, Ahmed Abdo pulled one back for NEOM, and Joao Felix sealed the win with a superb long-range strike in the 89th minute.
