Al-Nassr returned to the top of the Saudi Pro League after beating Al-Najma 5-0 at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium.
Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring from the penalty spot early on before Kingsley Coman, Sadio Mané and a brace from Íñigo Martínez completed the rout for Jorge Jesús’s team.
An unnecessary challenge from Abdullah Al Hawsawi allowed Al-Nassr to take the lead after just seven minutes, and Ronaldo made no mistake from the penalty spot, smashing it out of the goalkeeper’s reach.
Coman deservedly increased the visitors’ lead shortly after the half hour mark. A low cross from Marcelo Brozovic was initially clipped, but the ball still fell kindly to Coman, who found the bottom right corner on the turn.
And it was 3-0 shortly before half-time, with Víctor Braga’s unorthodox attempt to stop Íñigo Martínez’s long-range shot coming to nothing when the Spanish defender found the back of the net from nearly 30 yards.
Mane fired into the top left corner and left the goalkeeper no chance after receiving a ball from Ronaldo, while Iñigo Martínez scored his second in the 80th minute, turning Abdulrahman Ghareeb’s corner into the far corner.
