Al Nassr scored a thrashing today on their visit to Abha (0-8), in a match on the 26th round of the I Football League in Saudi Arabia that saw Cristiano Ronaldo score another hat-trick and reach 29 goals in the proof.
At the home of the now second-to-last placed team, the Madeiran striker needed just 11 minutes to open the scoring, having extended his tally to 21.
The captain of the Seleção das Quinas assisted Sadio Mané’s 3-0, in the 33rd minute, and in the 42nd minute he achieved the hat-trick, having two minutes later offered the 5-0 to Abdulmajeed Al Sulaiheem.
It was the second game in a row that CR7 scored three goals. On Saturday, the feat occurred in the second half of the duel with Al Taee, with goals being scored at 65′, 67′ and 87′.
For the second half, coach Luís Castro made two changes, removing the Portuguese star and Mané in exchange for Al Nemer and Al Elewai, but the 2nd placed team in the Saudi League did not take their foot off the accelerator.
Ghareeb (51′) and Al Elewai (63′ and 86′) sealed the old-fashioned rout that left Al Nassr 11 points ahead of Al-Ahli SC, 3rd, and 12 ahead of Al Hilal in Jorge Jesus, also won today, 3-0, against Al-Akhdoud.
