Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane dazzled to help Al-Nassr get their first Saudi Pro League victory of the season.
The pair both scored twice to help their side thump ninth placed Al-Fateh 5-0, away from home.
It was the result that Al-Nassr needed, having lost both their opening league matches to Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq 2-1 and Al-Taawon 2-0.
And their two superstars would combine to provide the opening score, with Ronaldo playing a simply sensational back heel flick that fooled the defender in front of the goal to find Mane charging in at pace.
The ex-Liverpool and Bayern Munich star showed his brilliant finishing abilities to dink the ball past the goalkeeper to put the away side 1-0 up after 27 minutes.

It wasn’t long before the former Real Madrid ace got in on the action too, rising high to meet Sultan Al Ghannam’s cross into the Al-Fateh box, heading home for his first goal in the Pro League this season.
He would be back again after half-time, receiving the ball from Abdulrahman Ghareeb inside the penalty area and placing his second of the night past the goalkeeper.
Mane took the fourth heading in his second of the night before wheeling away to mimic Ronaldo’s famous ‘Siu’ celebration on the touchline.
Seven minutes of injury time were added, but it was Ronaldo who wanted to have the last word in the game, completing his hat-trick in the 96th minute of the match, burying the ball into the bottom-left corner of the goal to make it 5-0.
