What Happened
Al Nassr achieved a commanding 5-0 victory over Al Najma in the Saudi Pro League on Wednesday night, propelling them back to the top of the table. Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring with a penalty in the seventh minute, marking his 965th career goal. Kingsley Coman and Iñigo Martínez added two more goals before halftime, with Martínez later scoring again to complete the rout.
Why It Matters
This win is crucial for Al Nassr’s title aspirations, especially following Al Hilal’s recent two draws, which have allowed Al Nassr to gain a two-point lead in the league standings. The victory marks Al Nassr’s ninth consecutive league win, solidifying their position as serious contenders for the championship.
What’s Next
Looking ahead, Al Nassr will aim to maintain their momentum as they continue their campaign in the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo, who has now scored 20 league goals this season, remains in pursuit of the Saudi Golden Boot, trailing Al Ahli’s Ivan Toney by three goals. The team’s performance will be closely monitored as they seek to capitalize on their current form.
