Saudi League | Al Nasr 2-1 Buraydah Cooperation | Ronaldo scored all four goals in his team's sweeping victory

Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nasr side will look to build on his form from last week against the Buraydah partnership when he scored all four goals in his side's sweeping victory.

Al Nasr stayed last but returned to the top of the Saudi Pro League , with VAR playing a key role throughout their narrow 2-1 win over Buraydah .

Just last week, Cristiano Ronaldo was all smiles with referee Sultan Alhabi, asking the official to sign his first hat-trick goal in the country.

Things were different on his latest outing, though, after his side were denied what looked like a clear first-half penalty.

But after angrily telling officials to " wake up " , they intervened to help his side take all three points.

Ronaldo found his footing in his new country one last time, scoring all four goals in the win over Arveda. The former Manchester United star looked likely to take charge again in the early game against Brayday's partnership .

He was instrumental in the home side's opening goal in the 17th minute when he delivered an inch-perfect pass to Abdulrahman Ghalib to give the hosts the lead.

Al Nasr continued to put in a lot of play in the first half and felt they deserved a chance to double their lead at half-time. After yet another explosive run from Ronaldo, he freed striker Garribe, allowing him to run into the box unopposed.

The winger then passed the ball to Ronaldo, only for goalkeeper Meyerson and defender Naldo to block the cross. However, Al Nasser 's offensive players, including Ronaldo , appealed for the penalty in an instant.

Captain Al Nasr ran straight to the referee and slapped him on the arm, implying that Naldo blocked the ball with his hands. Replays suggested that the situation was only for VAR checks to back up on-the-spot decisions.

The ball appeared to hit Naldo's arm, but the referee waved in protest

This sent the portuguese star into a rage and he was even spotted walking down the tunnel shouting " wake up! " at the crowd of officials after the half-time whistle

His frustrations were compounded shortly in the second half when Breyday teamed up to equalize through Alvaro Medran . Ronaldo then gave up a glorious chance to put his side back in the lead before more penalty calls were denied.

Al Nasr is third in Friday's competition, with Aleppo Ittihad and Riyadh Youth FC both having victories earlier in the week. Teaming up in Buraydah though , they face a team capable of winning and they are fifth after 17 games.

After scoring just one goal in his first three games for the Saudi giants, head coach Rudi Garcia claims his four-goal surplus shows he is starting to feel comfortable with his new colleagues.

He said: "Ronaldo has reached a great stage of homogeneity and harmony with his teammates. Over time, his teammates realize what he wants and when he scores goals. I think that's great for Cristiano Ronaldo. Say it was a good night because he scored four goals."
