Anderson Talisca also scored two goals. Frank Kessie, Riyadh Mahrez and Firas Al-Buraikan netted goals for Al Ahli.
Ronaldo was in great touch, his feet were moving well and for some reason, there was a smoke screen in the match but Ronaldo with his razor-sharp eyes found the net and made his side get an early lead. He was fast on his feet and before the other side realised what was coming Ronaldo was already several steps ahead of his opponents. Ronaldo has been in top form in the SPL and it is one of the reasons why his side is doing well in the league.

Ronaldo scored his first goal of the night after four minutes. The goal happened due to an assist from Sadio Mane. Al Nassr scored their second goal of the match when Talisca found the back of the net. Al Ahil kept striking back in the game and kept Al Nassr on their toes. However, Al Nassr reestablished their two-goal superiority before the break as Talisca’s strike deep into the opening half- in added time put his team in the driving seat heading into the tunnel.
Former Manchester City player and a man who won the treble, Mahrez, converted a spot kick in the 50th minute of the game to bring the scoreboard to 3-2, but Al Nassr hit back nearly immediately as they netted through Ronaldo in the 52nd minute of the game. There were changes made from both teams after the 65th minute which meant the substitutes got some game time in the end.
