Cristiano Ronaldo scores 66th hat-trick of his career against Al-Wehda moments before Lionel Messi’s iconic 5-assist performance in MLS

7 minutes later, the forward did what he does best as he guided the ball into the net with his head, jumping over two of his markers at the far post. Ronaldo completed his hat-trick in the 52nd minute, when Sadio Mane played him through on goal behind the opposition defense.

His blistering finish gave Munir Mohamedi no chance to get his hand on the shot as Ronaldo registered a record 66th career hat-trick!

Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane shine as Al-Nassr thrash opposition 6-0!

Cristiano Ronaldo‘s blistering form was on display as Al-Nassr won their 8th game in the last 10 outings. Days after scoring a brace against Al-Khaleej, Ronaldo went one step ahead to grab a hat-trick against Al-Wehda. Sadio Mane was in the mood too, as he contributed both with goals and assists.

His two assists and a goal meant that the forward continued his four-game goal scoring streak for Al-Nassr. One of his two assists came for Ronaldo, as the Portuguese forward completed his hat-trick against the Saudi Pro League opposition. The other presented itself in the form of a brilliant long pass to Otavio, who made no mistake to loft the ball over Mohamedi to make it 3-0.

Mane finally got on the scoresheet in the 45th minute, when Otavio returned the favor. Mane had all to do when several Al-Wehda defenders blocked his way to goal.

However, the crowd was treated a sublime solo goal as Mane weaved his way past the opposition backline. As it stands, Al-Nassr are 9 points behind Al-Hilal despite having played a game more.
