Description:
Cristiano Ronaldo continued his rich vein of form for Al-Nassr by sweeping home a first hat-trick against Abha, including two amazing free-kicks. <br/><br/>The Portuguese icon already tops the goal-scoring charts in the Saudi Pro League, and on Tuesday night he made it back-to-back hat-tricks for his side - the latest of which is the 65th treble of his career.<br/><br/>Ronaldo opened the scoring in the eleventh minute with a low-driven free-kick and doubled the lead ten minutes later with another set-piece stunner. <br/><br/>This time the 39-year-old went with a curled finish, giving the Abha goalie Ciprian Tatarusanu no chance. <br/><br/>He saved perhaps the best of the half for last though, as he found himself one-on-one with Tatarusanu and completed his hat-trick with an outrageous dinked finish.<br/><br/>The goals were part of an incredible first-half display from Al-Nassr as they finished the period 5-0 up, thanks to further goals from Sadio Mane and Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem. <br/><br/>The goals mean Ronaldo has now scored 29 times in the Saudi league this season and leagues the goal-scoring charts ahead of Al-Hilal's Aleksandar Mitrovic. <br/><br/>In total, he has scored now 42 goals in 41 games in all competitions for the Saudi side this campaign. <br/><br/>It also follows the treble he scored on Saturday in a 5-1 win over Al Tai. <br/><br/>He wasn't allowed to add to the total, however, as the forward was replaced at half-time along with fellow goal-scorer Mane. <br/><br/>The 8-0 win still sees Al-Nassr trail Al-Hilai by twelve points at the top of the Saudi Pro League, with the leaders still to lose a game this season.
