Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal and assisted another, showcasing his undeniable influence on the team as Al Nassr secured a convincing 3-1 win against Al-Ettifaq at the King Saud University Stadium on Friday.

During the 43rd minute of the game, Ronaldo's dynamic run along the left flank attracted the attention of two defenders, opening up space for Alex Telles to receive the pass and unleash a spectacular low shot into the bottom corner of the net.

Around the hour mark, Brozovic extended the lead with a precise finish, facilitated by an assist from the Portuguese superstar.

12 minutes later, Abdulrahman Yousef's handball conceded a penalty to Al Nassr. Ronaldo converted, making it 3-0 with a precise shot into the bottom left corner. Al Kuwaykibi scored for Al-Ettifaq, but it was too late to change the game's outcome.

Adding another goal to his 2023 tally, Ronaldo has reached 51 goals and impressively accumulated over 500 goal contributions since turning 30.

Ronaldo is edging closer to a milestone, standing 30 goals shy of reaching 900 career goals, and requiring just one more assist to achieve 250 assists in his illustrious career.

The victory helps Al Nassr stay in competition with the league leaders, Al Hilal, although there remains a significant 10-point gap between the two teams.

Next up, Al Nassr will take on Al-Ittihad on December 26 (Tuesday) as they aim to sustain their momentum in the race for the title.
