Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo rolled back the clock and delivered yet another vintage performance in Al-Nassr's 3-0 win over Damac at the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium on February 25 (Saturday). Ronaldo struck an immaculate hat-trick and single-handedly took his club to the top of the points table in the Saudi Pro League. It was Ronaldo's second hat-trick for Al-Nassr and his 62nd of his career as fans inside the stadium went absolutely berserk watching one the greatest footballers of all time put a clinic in front of the goal. The chants of Siuuu reverberated inside the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium as fans reveled in Ronaldo's masterclass.
Watch Ronaldo's hat-trick here:
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United forward had his treble by half-time, following up his four-goal haul two weeks previously against Al Wehda.
Ronaldo's first against Damak was an 18th-minute penalty, awarded after a handball by Farouk Chafai, while his second was a fierce left-footed strike from 20 yards five minutes later as defenders stood off.
The hat-trick was sealed in the 44th minute after a fast break out of defence, with Abdulrahman Ghareeb driving down the left before feeding a pass through to Ayman Yahya.
Yahya might have shot but elected to lay the ball off for 38-year-old Ronaldo to smash home from 10 yards.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has eight goals and two assists in six matches for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League this season.
