After scoring his first goal against Al Fateh, the Portuguese striker scored again in the 21st minute against Al Wehda as 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's tally (Lionel 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 spot-kick at the 51st minute and the fourth just 10 minutes later when he took advantage of an incomplete save and scored on the rebound. Ronaldo had not scored four goals in a game since September 2019 - in an international 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.
