Al Nasr won 2-0 against Damak today in the Saudi Pro League match. Ronaldo scored two goals in the two halves of the match. The first of these comes from penalties.
Earlier, Ronaldo also scored a brace in Al Nasr's 3-1 win over Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League. Al Nasr's captain kept that form in the league as well.
At home Al-Awal Park, Al Nasr held off Damak, who were at the bottom of the league points table from the start. They got a goal in the 17th minute. If the ball is in the hands of Damak defender Abdelkader in their own box, the referee blows the whistle for a penalty. Using the opportunity, Ronaldo sent a great spot kick into the net.
Despite trying to increase the gap in the first half, the hosts went into the break with a 1-0 lead. At the beginning of the second half, Damak became a team of 10 men. Al Nasr's Mohamed Simakan was red carded by Damak's Bedran. Losing the defender put the visitors under more pressure. As a result, Ronaldo saw his second goal.
In the 79th minute, the Portuguese star scored a great left-footed shot after receiving the ball from Nawaf Bushal's cutback from the left. It was his 915th career goal. 452 after 30 years! So far this season, he has 20 goals and 4 assists in the national team and club jerseys.
In this victory, Al Nasr has 25 points in 12 matches. Although their position is still three. However, Ronaldo reduced the point gap with Al-Ittihad to five. Al-Hilal, which is in second place, collected 28 points. But the top two teams have played one less match each than Al Nasr. Damak, who lost to Al-Nasr, are in eleventh place with 14 points.
