Al Adalah 0:5 Al Nassr: Ronaldo and Talisca Put Al Adalah to the Sword As Al Nassr Seal Comfortable Victory

• Al-Nassr maintained their title chase with a five-nil rout of relegation-threatened Al Adalah
• Cristiano Ronaldo and Anderson Talisca scored a brace each as Al-Nassr put five past Al Adalah
• Ronaldo's brace takes his total tally to 11 in ten Saudi Pro League outings

Cristiano Ronaldo continued his rich vein of form in front of the goal as he inspired Al-Nassr to a comfortable victory at Al Adalah on Tuesday evening.

The 38-year-old notched a brace on either side of halftime as the visitors ran out five-nil victors to keep their title hopes alive.

A frustrating thirty-minute opening saw Ronaldo and his teammates struggle to break down a resolute Al Adalah defence.

However, captain and talisman Ronaldo ensured Al-Nassr got a deserved lead via the penalty spot five minutes before half-time.

Rudi Garcia's charges upped the ante, and Ronaldo's partner-in-crime Anderson Talisca was among the goal scorers ten minutes after recess.

The pair combined to a devastating effect when Talisca teed up Ronaldo, who made no mistake in producing a rasping left-footed strike which found the bottom corner to put the game out of sight.

Talisca further enhanced his chances of winning the top scorer's award when he got his second of the night and his team's fourth in the 78th minute.

Substitute Ayman Yahya put the cherry on the cake with a stoppage-time strike to hand Rudi Garcia's men all three points at stake.

Despite the comprehensive victory, Al-Nassr still trail league leaders Al Ittihad by a solitary point with eight games left to play.
