Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Al Nassr defeated Al Hazem 4-0 to claim the top spot in the Saudi Pro League. The 41-year-old Portuguese superstar opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a clinical finish after being set up by Kingsley Coman. The goal, confirmed by VAR after an offside check, marked Ronaldo's 500th goal since turning 30.

Coman doubled the lead in the 30th minute after a swift passing move involving João Felix, while Brazilian striker Angelo added a third with a fine individual run from inside his own half in the 77th minute. Ronaldo completed his brace with 10 minutes remaining, drilling an angled drive into the net after another Coman assist. The goal stood following another VAR review for offside.

This victory extends Al Nassr's winning streak to eight consecutive league matches and moves them one point clear of rivals Al Hilal, who were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Al Ittihad. The result represents a strong response from Ronaldo, who had recently missed matches following a reported protest over the club's lack of January transfer activity.
