Al-Nassr largely won against Al-Shabab on Tuesday, thanks to Cristiano Ronaldo, author of a double (from the penalty spot) and an assist for Sadio Mané.
It’s too easy for Al-Nassr when he doesn’t face his three Saudi Pro League rivals (Al-Hilal, Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad are also owned by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund). Cristiano Ronaldo’s club largely won against Al-Shabab on Tuesday evening (4-0), with a double from the 38-year-old Portuguese from the penalty spot (13th and 38th).
In great shape, “CR7” could have scored other goals, but one of his goals was canceled by VAR and his header hit the post to allow Sultan Al Ghannam to carry the score. at 4-0 (80th).
The five-time Ballon d’Or having served Sadio Mané on the 3rd goal (40th), he is not only the top scorer in the championship with 5 goals (one more than Mané, Abderrazak Hamdallah and Malcom), but also the best passer with 2 goals ( notably in the company of Karim Benzema, Riyad Mahrez or Allan Saint-Maximin).
Al-Nassr, who had started with two defeats, moved up to 6th position, 6 points behind Al-Ittihad, author of a clear round in 4 matches so far.
The Sadio Mané – Cristiano Ronaldo connection continues to wreak havoc 🌪️
