Al-Nassr make it NINE wins in a row as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane and Kingsley Coman all score in huge flex of Saudi Pro League title credentials

Al-Nassr’s title hopes have been given a shot in the arm by Al-Hilal’s current run of two attracts on the trot. Ronaldo and co knew victory over Al-Najma on Wednesday evening would ship them to the highest of the desk once more and they bought the absolute best begin once they had been handed a penalty early on upon video assistant referee assessment.

It was, of course, Ronaldo who stepped to dispatch it from the spot, netting his 965th objective on his quest to hit 4 digits.

Al-Najma had been rapidly overwhelmed by the person high quality of their opponents and the sport was quickly taken away from them as Al-Nassr scored one other two targets earlier than half-time. Coman swiveled and fired in to make it 2-0 earlier than Inigo Martinez struck from distance, with the veteran Spanish defender’s effort fortuitously deflecting previous goalkeeper Waled Al-Enazi.

Things bought worse for the hosts early in the second half as the guests swept ahead and bagged a fourth, with Ronaldo selecting up an help by laying it to Mane who expertly discovered the highest nook with a highly effective shot.

Rather than any of the attacking stars, it was Martinez who grabbed a brace when he flicked a header in from a nook, serving to Al-Nassr wrap up their ninth league win in a row and go two factors clear on the prime.
