Following losses in their first two matches of the season, Al-Nassr won back-to-back victories in the Saudi Pro League thanks to two penalties converted by Cristiano Ronaldo.Prior to being given a penalty kick in the 12th minute, Ronaldo had not seen much of the ball. Nevertheless, he stepped up and buried the ball in the bottom right corner with ease.
After the referee rejected his spectacular header for the slightest nudge on his defender, he was denied a second time a few minutes later.
Ronaldo was not pleased with the decision in the slightest, but he quickly collected himself when Al-Nassr was given another penalty later in the laf.
The Portuguese took the same route, and the goalkeeper made the correct guess this time, but the placement was just too brilliant.
Just before halftime, Ronaldo switched to becoming the playmaker, slipping in Sadio Mane to score coolly and make it 3-0.
Al-Nassr moved up to sixth place in the second half, six points behind leaders Al-Ittihad, after Sultan Al-Ghannam added a fourth.
Ronaldo is now leading the scoring rankings with five goals in his previous two league outings.
