After a slow start to the match, Ronaldo burst into life in the 18th minute, latching onto a through ball from Luiz Gustavo and coolly finishing past the Damac goalkeeper. The goal sparked a surge of energy into the home crowd, who had packed the Mrsool Park Stadium to capacity. Just before halftime, Ronaldo doubled Al-Nassr’s lead with a clinical header. Aiming a perfectly placed cross from Álvaro González, the Portuguese superstar soared above the Damac defense and nodded the ball powerfully into the net. In the second half, Ronaldo completed his hat-trick with another impressive goal. Receiving the ball on the edge of the box, he feigned a shot, sending two defenders tumbling, before slotting it into the bottom corner with ease. The hat-trick, Ronaldo’s first for Al-Nassr, was met with thunderous applause and chants of “Ronaldo, Ronaldo” from the fans. It marked a triumphant return for the 38-year-old, who had been the subject of much speculation and criticism following his acrimonious departure from Manchester United. After the match, Ronaldo praised his teammates and the support of the fans. “I’m very happy to have scored my first goals for Al-Nassr. It was a special moment,” he said. “The team played well, and the fans were incredible. I’m grateful for their support.” Al-Nassr manager Rudi Garcia hailed Ronaldo’s performance as “exceptional.” “He’s a true champion and a great addition to our team,” Garcia said. “His quality is undeniable, and I’m confident he will have a major impact on our success going forward.” Ronaldo’s hat-trick has sent shockwaves through the Saudi Pro League and beyond. It serves as a reminder of the legendary striker’s enduring ability and his determination to prove his detractors wrong. With Ronaldo in their ranks, Al-Nassr will undoubtedly be one of the teams to watch in the title race this season.
