In the Saudi Pro League, Cristiano Ronaldo scored once more to help Al Nassr defeat Al-Ettifaq and maintain their title ambitions.

Throughout the entire game, Alex Telles, a former Manchester United player, scored a goal for Steven Gerrard’s team, who finished second overall.

After forty-three minutes, Telles gave the home team the lead, which was doubled shortly before the hour by Marcelo Brozovic, a former player for Inter Milan. After that, Ronaldo scored a penalty to make it 3-0. A few minutes before halftime, Mohammed Al Kuwaykibi gave the visitors a little comfort.

With one more game played, Al Hilal led the way, but Al Nassr’s performance dropped them to 10 points behind the leaders in the Saudi Pro League. At the Al-Awwal Park Stadium on Friday, former Premier League players Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum were among those who lined up for the opposition.

Gerrard’s team is now eighth in the league standings and has not won in eight games.

On December 28, they will play Al Hazm, and on December 26, Al Nassr will play Al Ittihad.

After yet another strong showing for his new team, Sadio Mane paid thanks at full time and was praised by the fans in the stands as well.
