Mohamed Simakan broke the deadlock before Ronaldo stole the show, first smashing in a strike after linking with Joao Felix, then heading home seconds after Sadio Mane missed a penalty.
The third arrived from the spot just minutes later, wrapping up a dominant display that had the crowd on its feet.
Days earlier, the Portuguese star put an end to speculation about his future by signing a contract extension with Al-Nassr until 2027, telling fans, “A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let’s make history together.”
Since arriving in 2022 from Manchester United, Ronaldo has scored 93 goals in 105 games, boosting the profile of the Saudi Pro League worldwide.
