And all this in only 45 minutes because at the start of the second half, he came out of the box due to the busy schedule of his team, which will play the 27th matchday of their league next Friday.
Al Nassr showed his power from the first minute, and of course Abha proportionally showed all his shortcomings from the same moment.
It didn’t take much time for Cristiano to show his ways as a great footballer.
At 11 minutes he took a free kick, his shot avoided the barrier from below and nestled in the nets guarded by Tatarusanu.
Without reaction, without football and with great timidity, Abha declared her role as a victim from that moment and at 21′ the same formula: free kick, Cristiano now over the barrier, goal. And Al Nassr no longer had opposition.
Ronaldo’s soliloquy continued and in the 33rd minute, without a trace of selfishness, he assisted Sadio Mané to make it 3-0.
Later, at 42′, Cristiano showed his shot on goal and, of course, he also did well with a lob over the goalkeeper, and completed his hat trick with a great goal.
To complete his superb performance, in the 44th minute, he served to Al-Sulaiheem and the score was 5-0.
By the second half, Al-Nassr was back on track and without Cristiano who came on as a substitute, like Sadio Mané, he managed to score more goals.
At 51, Ghareeb scored the sixth, at 63 and at 86, Al-Aiwa scored the seventh and always the eighth.
With this result, Al-Nassr reached 62 points and remains in pursuit of Al-Hilal, which reached 74. Meanwhile, Abha placed 17th in the tournament with 22 points.
