Felix’s Lightning Start: Ronaldo’s Historic Echo as Al Nassr Dominate Al Fateh
19 October 2025
A blazing start to the campaign and the table’s summit
The Portuguese forward Joao Felix kept his dazzling momentum with Al Nassr by delivering a standout performance that echoed Ronaldo’s legendary start at the club. In a 5-1 victory over Al Fateh at The First Park, Felix struck a rare treble that underscored his intent to redefine the Saudi Pro League’s early weeks.
Ronaldo contributed a superb strike, while Kingsley Coman added another, turning the match into a showcase of Al Nassr’s attacking depth. The pace and precision of Felix’s finishing helped the team surge to the league’s leading position, with a display that left opponents chasing shadows rather than chasing goals.
Opta’s data placed Felix on a historic footing, matching Ronaldo as the quickest to a club hat-trick for Al Nassr in the league era, with both players netting two goals in their first five appearances. The club’s chemistry under their Portuguese coach has transformed a high-powered attack into a statement of intent for the season ahead.
Felix’s eight goals in five league games have propelled him to the top of the scoring charts, ahead of Ronaldo who sits in second with five. The first five matches have seen Al Nassr rattle in 15 points, but this was the kind of performance that can redefine a campaign and set a new pace for both players and the squad.
Looking back, Ronaldo’s own breakout with the club in January 2023 began with eight goals across five matches, including a hat-trick against a prominent rival. What Felix is doing now echoes that explosive start, though the team’s form this season has been even more cohesive, with Felix steering the axis of victory and confidence rising across the squad.
As the hour grew, the match’s rhythm never swayed. Felix’s three-goal salvo, combined with Ronaldo’s iconic strike and Coman’s late contribution, reinforced a story of a forward line firing on all cylinders. The victory not only cemented a remarkable start but also reinforced the perception that Al Nassr is building a championship-ready machine.
Felix, Ronaldo, and the unfolding script
This outing offered a striking parallel with Ronaldo’s early days at the club, when a similarly rapid scoring burst helped ignite a championship pursuit. Felix’s current run aligns with that blueprint, both in numbers and in the way the team leverages its star power to press for quick results.
Despite the drama of a missed penalty by Ronaldo, his reply in the same match reminded fans of the relentless impact he can have on big occasions. The celebration that followed—captured in social posts—reflects a mindset that resilience is part of the package and that moments of misfortune are merely prefaces to emphatic responses.
Five goals, grand ambitions, and a road map ahead
The victory extended Al Nassr’s five-game winning streak and reinforced the image of Felix, Ronaldo, and Coman as a lethal trio capable of turning any fixture into a goal festival. With the AFL-level rhythm of the attack, the club has signaled its intent to dominate domestically while preparing for a congested fixture list across league and continental competition.
The match’s momentum also laid down a narrative arc for the season: a star-led surge combined with a squad-wide readiness to capitalize on chances. The road ahead includes high-stakes matches in Asia and domestic fixtures that will test the depth of the squad—yet the early signs suggest a club that has found its gear and is ready to stay in overdrive.
Punchline time: Felix’s goals arrive so fast they’re practically a software update—“Felix 2.0: Now with 100% more goals.”
Punchline two: If Al Nassr keep this up, Ronaldo might need a bigger trophy shelf for all the echoes of Camp Nou and that celebratory shirt toss—because greatness, apparently, travels in a very loud party bus.
