february 25, (THEWILL) – Cristiano Ronaldo continues to make headlines in Saudi Arabia, as he scored another hat-trick for Al Nassr against Damac, the seventh-placed team.
This victory puts Al Nassr at the top of the Saudi Professional League table, with the former Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus player having scored eight goals in five matches for his side so far.
It means the Portuguese superstar is in the running for the title of best scorer in the league, with his teammate Talisca currently leading the charts with 13 goals. Ronaldo’s impressive scoring record in the league could be attributed to the level of competition, as his figures are considerably higher than other players in the same competition.
Ronaldo’s first goal against Damac was a penalty from 11 yards, followed by a left-footed shot after a filtered pass, and then a third goal that capped off a great counterattack just before halftime. With seven goals and two assists in the last three games, it is clear that Ronaldo will be a dominant force in Saudi Arabia.
