Cristiano Ronaldo and Sadio Mane dazzled to help Al-Nassr get their first Saudi Pro League victory of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pair both scored twice to help their side thump ninth placed Al-Fateh 5-0, away from home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
He would be back again after half-time, receiving the ball from\u00a0Abdulrahman Ghareeb inside the penalty area and placing his second of the night past the goalkeeper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mane took the fourth heading in his second of the night before wheeling away to mimic Ronaldo’s famous ‘Siu’ celebration on the touchline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
