Cristiano Ronaldo delivers with a goal against Al-Wehda



Al-Nassr continue to trail Al-Hilal as a 3-1 win over Al-Wehda moved them to within four points of the unassailable Saudi Pro League leaders.

Telles broke the deadlock with a free-kick that looked to have Cristiano Ronaldo's signature on it.

On the verge of the break, Al-Amri was imperially imposing himself on Al-Wehda's defense to seal the win.

The second half saw Cristiano Ronaldo add to his tally, which now stands at 13 goals in 12 league games.

Anselmo was in charge of making up the score and VAR disallowed two Al-Nassr goals, one by Talisca and the other by Ghareeb, who came on in the second half.

The match started with more initiative from Al-Wehda as Noor was a torment on the right and his speed was wreaking havoc, but this promising start was a mirage.

After 11 minutes, Telles scored a wonderful free-kick that left everyone, including Munir, in disarray.

Al-Wehda, who had several well-known players such as Munir, Faycal Fajr, Ighalo and El Yamiq, had to swim against the tide.

The Moroccan center-back, formerly of Valladolid, had the first of Al-Wehda's first, who responded to another header from Mane.

Cristiano also wanted to join the party with a free kick that this time was not 'stolen' by Telles.

As the minutes ticked by, Brozovic put a precise cross to the far post for Al-Amri to beat Bakshween and make it 0-2.

Placid second half for Al-Nassr

It took Cristiano Ronaldo four minutes of the second half to score after a mistake by the Al-Wehda defense that the Portuguese did not waste.

Talisca made it 0-4 but it was disallowed by the VAR after a long review for positional offside of the Portuguese star.

Mane also wanted his share of the cake but ran into Munir, the best of his team, and the Senegalese had a discreet game, as did Otavio, the latest star to join the Al-Nassr constellation.

Al Wehda brought danger to Nawaf's goal for the first time in the 74th minute, speaking volumes about how placid the second half was for the team coached by Luis Castro.

A key date on the calendar for Al-Nassr

Al-Wehda deserved their goal, not because of what they did in the second half, but because they never gave up despite the difference between the two teams.

And after 80 minutes, they got their reward as a free kick with no apparent danger was nodded on by Duarte and Anselmo de Moraes scored an irrelevant goal that allowed his fans to celebrate a goal.

In the last play of the match, VAR prevented Ghareeb, who came on in the second half and left a very good impression, from scoring.

Al-Nassr follows in the wake of Al-Hilal and a tremendous battle will take place on December 1 when Cristiano Ronaldo's team will face the leaders.
