Cristiano Ronaldo Scores as Al Nassr Defeats Al Diriyah 3-0

Al Nassr secured a 3-0 victory against Al Diriyah in the Saudi Pro League, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring in his first match since leaving the Portugal national team camp. The match took place at Al-Awwal Park, where Al Nassr moved to second place in the league standings.

Ronaldo opened the scoring after Waleed Abdullah, the Al Diriyah goalkeeper, failed to handle a shot from Kingsley Coman. The goal was confirmed following a VAR review for a potential offside. Al Nassr extended their lead before halftime when Samu Costa scored from a corner taken by Joao Felix. They could have been ahead by three goals at the break, but a shot from Felix was cleared off the line.

Coman later added a third goal, capitalizing on a through ball from Sadio Mane. Al Diriyah, now coached by Bruno Lage, struggled to find the net despite a promising start to their season. They remain ninth in the league after failing to secure a point in this match.
