AlNassr Beats AlShabab 4-2 with Ronaldo 100th Goal, Felix Hat Trick

In Riyadh, AlNassr secured a 4-2 victory over AlShabab in the Saudi Pro League on Wednesday, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring his 100th league goal for the club and Joao Felix netting a hat trick to extend their lead at the top of the standings.

Felix opened the scoring in the third minute with a volley from a Sadio Mane cross, then added a header seven minutes later from Abdulrahman Ghareeb's delivery. AlShabab pulled one back in the 30th minute through Yannick Carrasco after Abdullah Al Khaibari lost possession. The visitors hit the crossbar before halftime and struck the post early in the second half through Ali Al Azaizeh.

Ronaldo restored AlNassr's two-goal advantage in the 75th minute, finishing a low cross from Mane for his milestone strike in his 105th league appearance since joining in December 2022. The 41-year-old Portuguese forward has now scored 100 goals in the Saudi Pro League, part of his 121 goals in 139 games across all competitions for AlNassr. AlShabab responded quickly via Ali AlBulayhi, who was unmarked in the box, but Felix sealed the win with a stoppage-time penalty after Marcelo Grohe fouled Abdullah Al Hamddan.

The result left AlNassr on 82 points from 32...
