Al-Nassr maintained their perfect start to the Roshn Saudi League season with a commanding 4-1 win over Al-Khaleej on Sunday.
The league leaders were already cruising at Al-Awwal Park through goals from Joao Felix, Wesley and Sadio Mane before Cristiano Ronaldo delivered the moment of the night in stoppage time.
The 40-year-old produced a stunning bicycle kick, reminiscent of his iconic strike against Juventus in the UEFA Champions League, to seal the victory and ignite the Riyadh crowd.
Their ninth consecutive win put them four points clear of closest challengers Al-Hilal, who triumphed over Al-Fateh despite being down to 10 men thanks to Darwin Nunez and Ruben Neves.
Al-Taawoun, who began the weekend in second place, slipped to third after being held 1-1 by Neon in a dramatic match where both goals came deep into stoppage time.
Meanwhile, defending champions Al-Ittihad finally halted their poor run of league form with a 2-1 win over Al-Riyadh.
However, Karim Benzema and company remain 13 points adrift of Al-Nassr at the summit.
