Ronaldo, who joined Al-Nassr from Manchester United in December, has been in fantastic form, scoring 26 goals in only 30 matches for his new team. This extraordinary record comes on the heels of his 800th career goal, which he scored in December 2021 while at Manchester United.

Following the latest triumph, Ronaldo expressed his excitement on social media, writing, "Another wonderful team performance! We are always upgrading. "850 career objectives and counting."

With this victory, Al-Nassr is now only four points behind league leaders Al-Hilal.

On Friday, Aleksander Mitrovic's hat-trick guided the league leaders to a thrilling 4-3 victory against Al-Ittihad, with Karim Benzema adding to the hosts' scoring.

Meanwhile, Moussa Dembele's brace was key in Al-Ettifaq's 3-1 victory against Damac.

Al-Nassr's latest triumph extended their undefeated record to four games, while Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq team ended their two-match winless streak.

In a different match, a star-studded Al-Ahli team including Roberto Firmino, Gabri Veiga, Riyad Mahrez, and Allan Saint-Maximin fell to Al-Fateh 5-1, leading them to lose position in the league rankings.
