Mohamed Simakan opened the scoring for Al-Nassr in the 15th minute in the friendly against Rio Ave; however, as usual, it was Ronaldo who stole the headlines with a superb hat-trick. The 40-year-old scored his first goal of the night after a spectacular one-two with his team-mate and the Saudi Arabian club’s newest signing, Felix.

Ronaldo’s second on the night came on the back of a Sadio Mane’s horror penalty, which was saved by Cezary Miszta, before the failed clearance by Rio Ave ended up in an attack for Al-Nassr, and the 40-year-old scored a towering header from ‘s cross. The five-time Ballon d’Or then capped his showing off with a penalty in the 68th minute before he was subbed off.

Al-Nassr and Ronaldo will now have only one more friendly before the start of the season. They take on Spanish side on August 10, before beginning their domestic campaign with a Saudi semi-final against Al-Ittihad on August 19.
