On Saturday, Al Nassr FC made history in the Saudi Professional League after a hat trick from superstar Cristiano Ronaldo helped them to a 3-1 victory over Al-Fateh. The win propelled Al Nassr to the top of the league table, making them the first team in the competition to reach the summit this season.
The match was a highly anticipated affair, with Ronaldo’s presence alone drawing a huge crowd to the King Fahd International Stadium. The Portuguese international did not disappoint, scoring his first goal in the 18th minute with a powerful header from a corner kick. He then doubled his tally in the 37th minute with a stunning free kick, before completing his hat trick in the second half with a composed finish.
The victory was an important one for Al Nassr, who had been struggling to find their form in recent weeks. The win takes them to the top of the table with 23 points from 11 matches, two points clear of nearest rivals Al-Hilal.
The result was also significant for Ronaldo, who has now scored 12 goals in 11 matches since joining Al Nassr in the summer. The former Real Madrid and Juventus star has been instrumental in helping the club to the top of the table, and his performance against Al-Fateh was further proof of his quality.
Al Nassr will now be looking to maintain their position at the top of the table, and with Ronaldo in their ranks, they have every chance of doing so. The Portuguese star will be hoping to continue his impressive form and help his side to a successful season.
For now, Al Nassr can celebrate their historic achievement of reaching the top of the league table, thanks in no small part to Ronaldo’s hat trick heroics.
