Al Nassr Remain Unstoppable as Ronaldo, Félix Fire Club to 3-1 Victory over Neom
Cristiano Ronaldo's coolly-slotted penalty and a late strike from João Félix helped Al Nassr extend their winning streak in the Saudi Pro League.
Al Nassr continued their dominant run in the Saudi Pro League, defeating Neom SC 3-1 in an action-packed clash at the King Khalid Sports City Stadium. The Riyadh-based giants maintained their perfect start to the season, registering their eighth win in a row.
Both sides had a few close attempts, but the first half remained goalless. The breakthrough came just two minutes after the restart, when young winger Ângelo Gabriel found the net with a quick rebound to put Al Nassr ahead. Neom’s hopes took a major hit soon after as Luciano Rodríguez was sent off for a reckless challenge in the 56th minute, leaving the home side down to ten men.
Ronaldo’s Calm, Félix’s Flair
With the numerical advantage, Al Nassr took complete control. In the 65th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo converted a penalty with trademark composure to mark yet another milestone in his glittering career. Ahmed Abdu briefly revived Neom’s spirits with an 84th-minute goal, but a stunning long-range strike by João Félix, in turn, silenced the home crowd and sealed the 3-1 victory.
The win keeps Al Nassr comfortably at the top of the table, showing off the balance of experience and youthful energy in the team. With Ronaldo leading from the front and Félix finding his rhythm, the Saudi powerhouse looks well set to continue its unbeaten march through this season.
