Ronaldo scored a hat-trick to lead Al Nasr to victory

Just 2 minutes later Al Taee equalized when striker Misidjan handled the ball very well in the D-zone before kicking a kick into the top corner of the goal. However, in the 36th minute, the striker received a second yellow card and left the field after kicking goalkeeper Ospina in the face during an escape, and Al Nassr’s advantage was converted into a lead in the 45+7 minute. Thanks to Mane’s cross, Ghareeb easily headed in.

The second half was when Ronaldo came into action. In the 64th minute, he scored a goal after Mane’s cross and 3 minutes later CR7 easily scored into a goal without a goalkeeper after hitting the crossbar. In the 87th minute, the hat-trick was completed when Ronaldo headed in a cross from the right wing.
