Al-Nassr thrashed Al Wehda (4-0), in the 16th round of the Saudi Arabian Championship. In Mecca, a sacred place for Muslims (according to the liturgy it is in this city that Mohammed had his revelation from God), it was Cristiano Ronaldo who definitely established himself as the great figure of the competition, both on and off the pitch.

After scoring his first goal against Al-Fateh, the Portuguese striker scored again in the 21st minute, when he received Ghareeb's pass with his right foot and shot with his left foot into the back of the net. He reached 500 league goals and equalled Josef Bican (Messi has 490).
In the 41st minute he left the Czech legend behind when Al Najei launched him at speed and again beat goalkeeper Atiah.
In the second half, the hat-trick came from a penalty kick at the 51st minute and the fourth 10 minutes later when he took advantage of an incomplete save and scored on the rebound. Cristiano Ronaldo had not scored four goals in a game since September 10, 2019, in a match with Lithuania.
With this result, Al-Nassr remain in first place with 37 points, the same as Al Shabab (they have one more game). Al-Wehda, meanwhile, are in 13th place with 15 points.
