Cristiano Ronaldo scores again as Al Nassr beat Al Raed 3-1 in Saudi Pro

League

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his seventh goal in the Saudi Pro League as his side, Al Nassr, beat Al Raed 3-1 in a league game at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Buraydah on Saturday.

Al Nassr, coming into the game with a four-game winning run, initially looked on the backfoot with the hosts, coached by former Shakhtar Donetsk boss, Igor Jovicevic, controlling the game with a 4-4-2 shape and zonal marking.

Ronaldo’s side tried to attack through long balls but Al Raed’s compact defence kept the visitors at bay.
