The 39-year-old scored a first-half hat-trick in his side's Saudi Pro League win over relegation-threatened Abha, including two free-kick goals. 

According to Yallakora, the former Real Madrid talisman has become the first player to score two goals from direct set-pieces in one match in Saudi's top division this season. 

The Portugal superstar also became the first player to score two hat-tricks and assist two goals in consecutive matches.

Furthermore, it is claimed Ronaldo is the first player since Yasser Al Qahtani in 2016 to score a hat-trick from outside the penalty area. 

Posting on social media in the aftermath of Al Nassr's big victory, he appeared to send a warning to current Saudi Pro League leaders Al Hilal. 

Ronaldo has now netted on 36 occasions across all competitions so far this season, according to Transfermarkt
