Al-Fateh vs. Al-Nassr ended in a 5-0 victory for Al-Nassr, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring a remarkable hat-trick to secure their first win of the season in the Saudi Pro League. Sadio Mane also got in on the action, emulating the famous ‘Siu’ celebration of the Portuguese superstar.
Their collaboration led to the opening goal, as Ronaldo executed an exquisite back-heel flick that left the defender bewildered, allowing Mane to charge into the box and deftly chip the ball past the goalkeeper, putting Al-Nassr 1-0 ahead after 27 minutes.
Ronaldo soon joined the scoring spree, leaping high to connect with Sultan Al Ghannam’s cross into the Al-Fateh box and heading the ball home for his first Pro League goal of the season.
After halftime, Ronaldo struck again, receiving a pass from Abdulrahman Ghareeb inside the penalty area and calmly slotting home his second goal of the night. Mane added to the tally, heading in his second goal and mimicking Ronaldo’s ‘Siu’ celebration on the touchline.
Despite seven minutes of injury time, it was Ronaldo who had the final say in the match, completing his hat-trick in the 96th minute by slotting the ball into the bottom-left corner of the net, sealing the 5-0 victory.
