Al Nassr are off to a perfect start in the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League season. This Saturday, they’re on track for their third consecutive win, this time against Al Riyadh. Cristiano Ronaldo scored one of the goals.
Jorge Jesus’ team had already secured wins over Al Taawoun and Al Kholood in the opening rounds of the league, and last Wednesday, they made their debut in the AFC Champions League Two with a 5–0 thrashing of Istiklol. That momentum helped them clearly assert their dominance over their opponents in Saturday’s match.
Al Nassr needed just six minutes to open the scoring: Kingsley Coman sent in a low cross, and Joao Felix appeared inside the box to make it 1–0. The French winger played a key role again just minutes later, capitalizing on a defensive mistake to take the ball, drive into the box, and finish with precision to double the lead.
The early advantage and overwhelming superiority of one team over the other set the stage for Cristiano Ronaldo to make his mark. That moment came in the 33rd minute, when Joao Felix delivered a beautiful assist to the 40-year-old forward, who entered the box and scored with a delicate right-footed touch.
