This is exactly what Al Na sr and Saudi football signed up for when they signed up the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. Rudi Garcia's men go top of the table, two points clear of Al Ittihad, and you feel like it will really take something to shift them.90th minute+1: Masharipov and Ronaldo are to the fore as Al Na sr look for number four. Damac are collectively out on their feet but Tony Gonzalez Jersey danger is averted.90th minute: There will be four additional minutes.88th minute:Cro sbar!Ronaldo drives in a free-kick from the left and the luckle s Masharipov guides his header against the cro sbar. For reasons best known to himself, Damac substitute Majrashi was loitering at the back post playing everyone onside.85th minute: Chance for Hamzi... no, he's offside. The Al Na sr backline has been well-oiled machine today... oh, hang on, here's Ronaldo charging towards goal again. Enough Damac players get back to crowd him out. He wants a penalty, but he's not getting one.80th minute: It's all got a bit fractious out there. Ghareeb is down and requires treatment after Bedrane, in the parlance of no-nonsense defending, left a little bit on him.75th minute: Here's Ronaldo again. He gets the ball stuck under his feet a bit and Al-Nakhli scrambles it behind for a corner. It's taken short and Damac see off the danger.73rd minute: Bedrane ends up in a heap on the floor after failing to convert the latest Damac free-kick from the left where everyone has run offside. Not to put too fine a point on this, but the home team have been rubbish.69th minute: Al-Suliahem is replacing Sami Al-Najei for the visitors.67th minute:Ronaldo has four!!!Oh, no, hang on.. NFL Atlanta Falcons Jersey .it's offside.Just. Smooth move from Al Na sr and a trademark finish. It all looked far too easy. We might give Damac credit for their effective offside trap but, unfortunately, we've seen the rest of their defensive work this evening so they probably just got lucky.62 career - for the (his second for Al Na sr!) goal involvements in the Roshn Saudi League (8 2 ) | Roshn Saudi League (@SPL_EN) 62nd minute: Brave goalkeeping from Zaghba between the posts for Damac, who gets up above Ronaldo to prevent him from glancing home.59th minute: Masharipov has been a lively presence since coming on but should have a goal to show for his efforts by this point. The Uzbek winger drags wide from 15 yards. The way Damac are carrying on, you'd expect him to get a few more chances.56th minute: Again Al Na sr have room to make merry on the break. Ghareeb exchanges pa ses with Sami before blootering miles over the bar.Ghareeb AlNa sr FC (@AlNa srFC_EN) 54th minute: Ronaldo is ready to celebrate his and Al Na sr's fourth, but Bedrane makes a sensational sliding block.53rd minute: It's an all through traffic situation in that Damac defence. Ronaldo plays in Ghareeb who should score. Home goalkeeper Zeghba saves well, but shouldn't have had a chance.52nd minute: Another Al Na sr attack falls down as the supporting forwards seemingly dally over whether to pa s to Ronaldo or not. Masharipov, on for Matt Hennessy Jersey the injured Ayman, should do better on the end of Ghareeb's pa s. Luiz Gustavo collects the second ball and has a shot blocked. An action-packed pa sage of play ends with Damac on the counter and Hamzi dragging wide
