Al Nassr 4-0 Al Hazem Player Ratings: Ronaldo Shines Once Again With a Brace In a Four-Goal Rout Against Al Hazem

Al Nassr saw off 12th-placed Al Hazem at home to clinch all three points in a Saudi Pro League fixture. It was expected that Jorge Jesus' men would dominate the game and rightly so, giving the opponent little to no opportunities on the attacking front.

Al Nassr controlled the game well overall, keeping the ball with them and playing it around the park with ease. Al Hazem did get a few chances, but they were rather wasteful and didn't make use of the errors made by Al Nassr.

One of the best Portuguese players of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo, scored the opening goal from a tight angle in the 13th minute, but the linesman had his flag up already. A VAR check followed, which reversed the decision to award a goal in the legendary forward's favour.

At the 30th-minute mark, Kingsley Coman doubled the lead for the hosts, from a nicely threaded through ball from another Portuguese, Joao Felix. Gabriel joined the party in the 77th minute with the third goal, while Ronaldo hit a left-footed belter from inside the box to make it four on the day for the home side and two for him on the day.

Al Hazem tried to make something happen out of thin air, but they were largely inferior to the Men in Yellow.
