The brace took Ronaldo’s career tally to 956 goals as Jorge Jesus’ side recorded the best start to an SPL season in history.
Ronaldo, who was chasing his first hat-trick of the calendar year, looked to have extended that particular run to 16 consecutive years after netting in the 65th minute, but the goal was ruled out for offside following a VAR review.
But Al-Nassr nevertheless continued their outstanding start under former Al-Hilal coach Jesus, who has transformed the team this season.
