Ronaldo, the 38-year-old all-time leading scorer for Portugal and former Real Madrid star, has scored six goals in his last three matches, putting him at the top of the Saudi Professional League goal-scoring charts after five rounds. He also set up two goals for his teammates during the match against Al-Hazem.
Following the resounding win, the Portuguese captain mentioned: “Another great team performance, we keep improving... 850 career goals and still counting.”
After a poor start to the season, Al-Nassr, the runners-up of last season, have scored 14 goals in their last three matches, narrowing the gap to just four points behind the league leaders, Al-Hilal, ahead of the international break.
In the race for the league's top scorer, Ronaldo is leading by one goal over his teammate Sadio Mane and Moroccan forward Abderrazak Hamdallah of Al-Ittihad, the previous season's top scorer.
