Cristiano Ronaldo nets first-half hat-trick including TWO free-kicks as ...

Cristiano Ronaldo continued his rich vein of form for Al-Nassr by sweeping home a first hat-trick against Abha, including two amazing free-kicks. 

The Portuguese icon already tops the goal-scoring charts in the Saudi Pro League, and on Tuesday night he made it back-to-back hat-tricks for his side - the latest of which being the 65th treble of his career.

Ronaldo opened the scoring in the eleventh minute with a low driven free-kick and doubled the lead ten minutes later with another set-piece stunner. 

This time the 39-year-old went with a curled finish, giving the Abha goalie Ciprian Tatarusanu no chance. 

He saved perhaps the best of the half for last though, as he found himself one-on-one with Tatarusanu and completed his hat-trick with an outrageous dinked finish.

Fans got to see Ronaldo's trademark celebration three times during the first period 

The goals were part of an incredible first half display from Al-Nassr as they finished the period 5-0 up, thanks to further goals from Sadio Mane and Abdulmajeed Al-Sulaiheem. 

The goals mean Ronaldo has now scored 29 times in the Saudi league this season and leagues the goal-scoring charts ahead of Al-Hilal's Aleksandar Mitrovic. 

In total he has scored now 42 goals in 41 games in all competitions for the Saudi side this campaign. 

It also follows the treble he scored on Saturday in a 5-1 win over Al Tai.

He wasn't allowed to add to the total however, as the forward was replaced at half-time along with fellow goal-scorer Mane. 

The 8-0 win still sees Al-Nassr trail Al-Hilai by twelve points at the top of the Saudi Pro League, with the leaders still to lose a game this season.
