Al Fayha 1-4 Al Nassr: Ronaldo and Talisca star in one-sided away victory

Talica was twice on target and Cristiano Ronaldo managed another goal and assist as Al Nassr swept Al Fayha aside with a 4-1 away victory in the Saudi Pro League.

The Portugal international needed just five minutes to tee up Brazilian team-mate Talisca, who added the second of his account late on in the match at King Abdullah Sport City Stadium.

Ronaldo got on the scoresheet himself in first-half stoppage time, with Marcelo Brozovic also on target before Fashon Sakala’s 86th-minute consolation finish on Tuesday.

Victory marks Al Nassr’s first win of the new league season after being held to a frustrating 1-1 draw with Al Raed in their opener.
