At the Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium on Tuesday, Al Nassr defeated Abha 8-0 thanks to a masterful hat-trick from Cristiano Ronaldo. The 39-year-old striker not only scored three goals but also provided an assist on two others, enabling his team to win handily. In the eleventh minute of play, he scored his first goal via a free kick. The remaining two arrived in minutes 21 and 42, respectively. This was Ronaldo’s 65th hat trick in his career and his first for Al Nassr.

More On The Match
Ronaldo scored his first two goals of the game on Tuesday from free kicks. With a strong shot from just beyond the penalty box for the first and a deft curling shot from the left side for the second, he scored.
Ronaldo drove towards the goal and finished his hat-trick with a wonderful long-range shot just before halftime, before the completion of the first half.
Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem scored from close range into an open goal after Ronaldo handed the ball to him. At halftime, Ronaldo was replaced, but Al-Nassr continued to score.
Shortly after the second half began, Saudi Arabian player Abdulrahman Ghareeb scored their sixth goal, and Abdulaziz Al-Aliwa, a replacement, added two more.
Despite their victory, Al-Nassr is in second position in the league with eight games remaining, 12 points behind Al-Hilal.

Cristiano Ronaldo Suspension
Cristiano Ronaldo was suspended for one match by Saudi Arabia’s football regulatory body earlier in March due to a gesture he made on the field the previous weekend that was deemed to be a “provocation.”.
The Al-Nassr captain and former Porto player, according to the Saudi Arabian Football Federation, was also fined a total of 30,000 riyals ($8,000) for the action. The actions supposedly violated the regulations against inciting the public during a match. There is no way to challenge the decision.
