The Brazilian also hit the net twice in the 5-0
victory over Al-Adalah on Tuesday and is the league's joint top
scorer with 16 goals, level with former Manchester United and
Watford forward Odion Ighalo who plays for Al-Hilal.
Al-Nassr, who signed 38-year-old Ronaldo in January until 2025
in a contract estimated by media to be worth more than 200
million euros ($219 million), are second in the league standings
on 52 points, one behind leaders Al-Ittihad.
There are eight games remaining in the season for each team.
"Every top player does his job. My full focus is on Al-Nassr
winning, not on being the league's top scorer. My main goal is
to lead the team to win, and then everything else will come,"
Talisca told Saudi's SSC channel through a translator.
Just before the international break, Ronaldo handed Talisca the
task of converting the winning penalty against Abha four minutes
from time, which the Brazilian scored and described the gesture
as "mutual respect" from Portugal captain.
On Tuesday, Al-Nassr took the lead from a penalty in the first
half, but this time Ronaldo decided to take it and scored to
reach double figures for the season.
