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.

Al-Nassr can move three points clear at the top of the Saudi Pro League when Cristiano Ronaldo's side visit top-flight newcomers NEOM on Saturday. Jorge Jesus's side have won all of their first seven league games, although their 2-1 home victory over Al-Fayha last time out came only courtesy of a 104th-minute penalty by Ronaldo for the five-time Champions League winner's second goal of the game.
