Cristiano Ronaldo continues to find the net in Saudi Arabia, scoring two goals to reach his 11th in just nine games; however, he still cannot come out of the shadows of Al-Nassr's top scorer Anderson Talisca.

Talisca also scored twice on Tuesday during the 5-0 victory over Al-Adalah and is the league's joint top scorer with 16 goals, level with former Manchester United Odion Ighalo who plays as a striker for Al-Hilal.

Al-Nassr is second in the league standings with 52 points, one point behind the table-toppers, Al-Ittihad.

Each of the teams has eight games remaining in the season.

"Every top player does his job. My full focus is on Al-Nassr winning, not on being the league's top scorer. My main goal is to lead the team to win, and then everything else will come," Talisca told Saudi's SSC channel. 

Just before the international break, Ronaldo handed teammate Talisca the mission of converting the winning penalty against Abha four minutes from time, which the Brazilian scored, calling the move "mutual respect" from Portugal's captain.

On Tuesday, Al-Nassr became the top charter from a penalty in the first half, but Ronaldo decided to score himself to double figures for the season.

It is worth noting that Ronaldo, who signed with Al Nassr until June 2025, in a deal believed to be worth around 200 million euros ($219 million), likely represents more to the Gulf nation than simply profit. Signing the star reinforces Saudi Arabia’s bid of becoming a major sporting country in the Middle East.
