Ronaldo scores perfect hat trick in Al Nassr rout

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his fourth hat trick of the Saudi Pro League season on Saturday as Al Nassr thrashed Al Wehda 6-0.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner now has 32 league goals this season, two short of Abderrazak Hamdallah‘s record tally of 34 back in the 2018-19 campaign, with four games still to play.

Ronaldo opened the scoring in Riyadh in the fifth minute after intercepting a poor clearance from goalkeeper Monir El Kajoui.

Seven minutes later, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star grabbed his second, heading home a cross from Marcelo Brozovic. Early in the second half, Ronaldo’s shot from just inside the area secured his hat trick in Al-Nassr’s seventh successive win.
