Cristiano Ronaldo's two goals led Al Nassr to a dominant 4-0 victory over Al Hazm, reclaiming the top spot in the Saudi League after Al Hilal's 1-1 draw with Al Ittihad.

Al Nassr now sits atop the league standings with 55 points, one point ahead of Al Hilal and two ahead of Al Ahli. Al Hazm remains in 12th place with 24 points.

The match at Al-Awwal Park saw Ronaldo open the scoring in the 13th minute, followed by goals from Kingsley Coman (30'), Angelo Gabriel (77'), and another from Ronaldo (79').

Al Hilal's match against Al Ittihad ended in a draw, with Al Ittihad playing with ten men after an early red card. Al Hilal failed to capitalize on their numerical advantage.

Al Hilal took the lead through Malcom, but Al Ittihad equalized in the second half with a goal from Houssam Aouar.

Elsewhere, Al-Neom secured a 1-0 victory over Al Khaleej with a late penalty from Alexandre Lacazette.

Al Nassr's victory, fueled by Ronaldo's goals, marks a significant shift in the Saudi League title race as the season progresses.
