Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix demonstrated their attacking justice when Al Nassr defeated Al Riyadh 5-1 at Al-Awwal Park and continued their perfect score in the Saudi Pro League season 2025-26. Both Portuguese strikers had two goals, which highlighted the goals of Al Nassr to win the title with a third consecutive victory.
There was nothing like the home side waiting to establish its supremacy. Just half an hour later, Joao Felix ended the stalemate in the sixth minute as he directed an accurate Kingsley Coman cross into the left. The initial objective established the mood of an evening of pressure. Coman made it two an hour later, when he used a defensive indifference to take his time to walk past the goalkeeper in a one-on-one goal.
Following a break, Al Riyadh flirted with a come-back effort too shortly when Mamadou Sylli linked with a diving header within a six-yard box to score 2-1. Nevertheless, Al Nassr soon took everything in control again. Felix gave his brace a vicious close-range volley back, which regained the two goal cushion and punctured the morale of the visitors.
Cristiano Ronaldo was then introduced to the spotlight as he tapped in his first goal after a brilliant passing through the team and the second one towards the end of the game after another well-timed pass of Coman. The five goal showcase was a treat to the local audience, besides displaying the chemistry that was emerging among high profile attackers of Al Nassr.
The emphatic win places Al Nassr on the top of the league table on goal difference beating defending champions, Al-Ittihad. The Riyadh giants currently have a lot of confidence in their future game, and Ronaldo and Felix are still developing into one of the deadliest pairings in the Saudi Pro League.
