Watch Ronaldo score his 7th league goal of the season as Al Nassr continues to surge up the table after a 3-1 win against Al Raed

On Saturday, September 16, 2023, Al Nassr put another win on the board as they continue to show their title credentials in the Saudi Pro League

Even though the visitors were likely the second-best team on the field for the majority of the first half, Sadio Mane's goal just before intermission gave the guests the lead.

As soon as Bander Whaeshi pulled Mane back, things for the home team went from bad to worse, as the referee brandished a red card.

Anderson Talisca produced a beauty in the 49th minute to give Al Nassr a two-goal cushion.

In the 79th minute, Ronaldo receives the ball from Talisca in the box, nutmegs a defender, and shoots into the goal for Al Nassr's third of the game.

Al Raed earned a late consolation through a Fouzair penalty finish, but they were unable to compete well enough to win this game.

Late in the game, Ronaldo, who scored his 850th career goal against Al Hazem, found the back of the net again, but it was ruled that he was offside.
