Online Desk: Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo struck a first-half hattrick as Al Nassr won 3-0 in their Saudi Pro League fixture against Damac on Saturday. The 37-year-old, who fired on all cylinders for his new club to score all four goals in a 4-0 victory at Al Wehda on February 9, was again unstoppable on the night. The charges of Rudi Garcia are now at the top of the league table, with a two-point advantage from their nearest rivals Al Ittihad.

Ronaldo broke the deadlock by converting a spot-kick in the 18th minute before the five-time Ballon d’Or winner killed the game off before the interval, striking in the 23rd and 44th minute.

He has so far registered 62 hattricks across club and international career: 44 for Real Madrid, 3 each for Manchester United and Juventus, 2 for Al Nassr, and 10 for Portugal.
