Cristiano Ronaldo Leads Al Nassr to 3-0 Win

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a penalty as Al Nassr secured a 3-0 victory over Al Ettifaq, marking Stefano Pioli's first win as head coach of the Saudi club. Pioli was appointed to replace Luis Castro, who was dismissed following a poor start to the season with just one win in three matches. Ronaldo, who missed the previous match due to illness, netted his third goal of the season, while Salem Al Najdi and Anderson Talisca added to the tally in the second half. This match resulted in Al Ettifaq's first defeat of the season, leaving them in third place while Al Nassr climbed to fourth. In other league action, Al Ahli defeated Damac 4-2, with Ivan Toney scoring twice, marking his debut goals since joining from Brentford. Al Hilal and Al Ittihad currently lead the standings and are set to meet soon.
