Ronaldo scored three goals in the first half against Nassr at the Prince Sultan bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Abha. Sadio Mane, a Senegal superstar and Liverpool legend, also scored a goal as Pitso Mosimane’s side lost 8–0.
Meanwhile, Abha has eight more matches to compete for survival. Pitso Mosimane’s side is currently in 17th place, just two points behind safety (15th).
Abha’s next game will be on Sunday at home against midtable Al Fateh, followed by a trip to struggling Al Shabab on April 18.
