This win comes after a recent defeat to Al-Ittihad, and it marks a swift recovery for the defending champions. Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a header, and Abdullah Al-Hamdan added a second goal in the 58th minute.
Despite Nabil Fekir's late consolation goal, Al Nassr maintained their lead until the final whistle. The victory puts Al Nassr at second place in the table with 15 points from six matches, including five wins and one defeat. Ronaldo's 979th goal brings him 21 goals short of the historic 1,000-goal mark.
