Ronaldo Strikes Again! Al-Nassr Dominates Al-Kholood to Close Title Gap
Al-Nassr made a powerful statement in the Saudi Pro League with a commanding 3-0 victory over Al-Kholood, moving within just three points of league leaders Al-Hilal. Cristiano Ronaldo and João Félix were at the heart of the action, combining brilliantly to secure a fourth straight win for Jorge Jesus’ side.
The match started with Al-Nassr asserting dominance immediately. Félix and Sadio Mané were constantly testing the Al-Kholood defense, creating early chances that almost put Ronaldo on the scoresheet. The home side showed resilience, managing to keep the game goalless in the first half thanks to some heroic saves and last-ditch defensive interventions. But it was clear the visitors were in control, dictating the tempo and threatening at every opportunity.
The breakthrough came just two minutes into the second half. Félix, once again exploiting spaces behind the defense, provided a perfectly timed pass for Ronaldo, who calmly slid the ball into the net. This goal marked Ronaldo’s 17th in the Saudi Pro League this season and brought him tantalizingly close to the 1,000-goal milestone in his career—a landmark few athletes ever approach.

Not long after, Mohamed Simakan doubled the lead, heading home another precise delivery from Félix. The Portuguese forward’s vision and timing were flawless, setting up goal-scoring opportunities throughout the game. Al-Kholood struggled to respond and matters worsened when their captain Hatan Bahbri was shown a red card following an off-the-ball incident.
The victory was sealed in the final stages when Kingsley Coman calmly converted a penalty, making it 3-0. With Ronaldo and Mané off the pitch, Coman’s composed finish confirmed Al-Nassr’s superiority and underscored the depth of quality in their squad.
This win is significant not just for the points but for momentum. Al-Nassr now stands as a real threat to Al-Hilal’s dominance in the title race, with the Portuguese duo of Ronaldo and Félix central to this charge. Beyond the league implications, Ronaldo’s continued brilliance at 40 is a testament to his enduring skill and fitness, keeping fans and analysts worldwide captivated.
Al-Kholood, meanwhile, must regroup quickly. Defensive lapses and disciplinary issues highlight the challenges they face against top-tier opponents. The result also emphasizes the gulf in quality between the sides, raising questions about their ability to consistently compete at this level.
