Cristiano Ronaldo delivered another decisive performance as Al-Nassr continued its dominant run in the Saudi Pro League. The Portuguese superstar scored twice to secure a commanding 3–0 victory over Al Akhdoud on Saturday, December 27. With this result, Al-Nassr recorded a historic 10th consecutive league win. The victory further strengthened the club’s position at the top of the table.
Moreover, the win moved Al-Nassr closer to the league crown. The team now holds a four-point lead over its closest rivals. As a result, Al-Nassr remains unbeaten this season and maintains a perfect league start.
Ronaldo Sets the Tone With First-Half Brilliance
From the opening minutes, Al-Nassr controlled possession and dictated the pace. Ronaldo looked sharp and constantly threatened the opposition defense. Just after the half-hour mark, he broke the deadlock. He arrived unmarked at the back post and calmly tapped in a headed assist from Angelo Gomes.
Soon after, Al-Nassr gained further momentum. The midfield pressed aggressively and forced errors from Al Akhdoud. Consequently, the visitors struggled to create meaningful chances. Ronaldo capitalized once again just before halftime. Marcelo Brozovic delivered a precise pass into the box. Ronaldo reacted instantly and flicked the ball into the net with the side of his boot.
That second goal doubled the lead and shifted full control to Al-Nassr. The crowd erupted as the team headed into the break with confidence and composure.
Second-Half Control and a Clinical Finish
After the restart, Al-Nassr maintained pressure while managing the game intelligently. Ronaldo pushed for a hat-trick and came close early in the second half. However, a tight offside call denied him what would have been his seventh Saudi Pro League hat-trick.
Despite that setback, Al-Nassr did not slow down. Instead, the team continued to dominate possession and stretch the opposition. João Félix eventually sealed the win in the closing stages. He finished a well-worked move to score the third goal and confirm a dominant performance.
Meanwhile, Al Akhdoud struggled to respond. The defense stayed compact, but Al-Nassr’s movement and passing proved too strong. As a result, the hosts kept a clean sheet and closed out the match comfortably.
Historic Streak Strengthens Title Push
With this victory, Al-Nassr extended its winning streak to ten consecutive league matches. This achievement marked a new club record in the Saudi Pro League. More importantly, the result showcased consistency, depth, and tactical discipline.
Ronaldo’s influence continues to grow since his high-profile move in 2023. He has played a central role in Al-Nassr’s title push this season. Additionally, his leadership and finishing ability have lifted the team during key moments.
As the season progresses, Al-Nassr appears well positioned for silverware. The team shows balance across all areas of the pitch. Furthermore, the growing chemistry between Ronaldo and his teammates adds to their title credentials.
Ultimately, this win represents more than three points. It reflects ambition, momentum, and belief. Al-Nassr now marches forward as a clear championship contender.
