Cristiano Ronaldo scores three as Al-Nassr beats Al Fateh 5-0

After losing the first two games in the fresh season of Saudi Pro League, a statement victory was expected from Al Nassr and it came in the most spectacular way possible. Ronaldo and the club's big summer signing of the season Sadio Mane combined to hit five past the Al Fateh goalkeeper. Ronaldo set up Mane beautifully for the first goal, and later in the first half scored his first goal. Al-Nassr overtly dominated the possession and thus more goals were looming. Ronaldo ended up with two more goals and Mane also completed his brace. A 5-0 victory may hint that Al-Nassr has recovered from the initial blows.
