Portuguese attackers Cristiano Ronaldo and Joao Felix scored braces as Al Nassr thrashed Al Riyadh 5-1 in a Saudi Pro League clash at Al -Awwal Park in Riyadh on Sunday.
Al Nassr was barely troubled by its opponent as it dominated possession and attacking metrics to make it three wins in three to start the 2025-26 league season.
Felix opened the scoring for Al Nassr in the sixth minute of the game, after he poked in a Kingsley Coman cross from the left wing.
Coman doubled the lead in the 30th minute when he cashed in on a defensive lapse from the Riyadh defence and slotted in from a one-one-one situation.
Al Nassr’s dominance was sealed soon when Felix turned creator as he slid in a through ball for Ronaldo to angle it into the bottom corner from inside the penalty box.

Al Nassr is atop the Saudi League standings, ahead of second-placed Al-Ittihad on goal difference.
