Cristiano Ronaldo sets up Al Nassr rout with second successive hat-trick

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his second hat-trick in four days as Al Nassr crushed Saudi Pro League opponents Abha 8-0.

Ronaldo hit a first-half treble against outclassed opponents languishing near the foot of the table.

His latest hat-trick followed a triple strike in Al Nassr’s 5-1 drubbing of Al Tai on Saturday.

Former Liverpool forward Sadio Mane also netted, along with Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem, as Al Nassr led 5-0 at the interval.

The second period proved equally one-sided with Al Nassr claiming further goals through Abdulrahman Ghareeb and a double from Abdulaziz Saud Al Aliwa.
