His first goal of the evening, a remarkable free-kick, set the tone for his exceptional performance, according to Sporting News.
He swiftly followed it up with an even better version of the first strike from a similar set-piece situation before sealing his hat-trick with an audacious chip.
Manager Luis Castro wisely gave the seasoned forward a well-deserved break, but that didn't deter the Knights of Najd from adding four more goals to their tally, making the scoreline 8-0 at full-time.
With his total goals in the Saudi top division now standing at 29, a notable seven more than his closest competitor, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Ronaldo is firmly positioned as the frontrunner for the season's top scorer prize.
After Ronaldo's ruthless display in the rout, Morgan, a dyed-in-the-wool CR7 fan, took to the X App (formerly Twitter) to lavish praise on the Portuguese phenom.
"The GOAT, Cristiano Ronaldo, doing yet more GOAT things tonight. Two brilliant free-kick goals, this one vintage Ronaldo," he wrote.
