It seems the happy Ronaldo is back as he looks thrilled with the win. Moreover, it is a huge claim from the veteran about SPL. Nevertheless, let’s talk in detail about his outstanding performance.

An exceptional performance from CR7

Sadio Mane broke the deadlock in the 27 minute, thanks to an assist from Ronaldo. Almost 11 minutes later, the Portuguese superstar also opened his account. Al Fateh were trailing 2-0 in the first half. With the second half beginning, it took just 15 minutes for CR7 to add his second. The next 20 minutes saw Al Fateh trying to conjure up something.

However, that did nothing but backfire on them as Mane added his second in the last 10 minutes of the game. Subsequently, Ronaldo wasn’t in the mood to put the match to bed with the same number of goals as Mane. The injury time saw the skipper icing the cake and get his hat trick. Notably, they won the match even after their three stars were absent following an injury. Be that as it may, it was a good day and Ronaldo and his teammates will certainly get a good night’s sleep.
