However, Julian Quinones soon equalised for Al-Qadsiah before former Arsenal striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted what proved to be the winner shortly after half time.
Al-Nassr are six points behind league leaders Al-Hilal, who have played a game fewer and are in action away to Al-Khaleej on Saturday.
Ronaldo hasn’t won a league title since the 2019-20 campaign when he was at Juventus, and it appears that his lengthy wait may continue.
As usual, Ronaldo has made a significant contribution for Al-Nassr this season – he has scored seven goals in ten league games so far.
Last season, Al-Nassr finished second in the table, 14 points behind winners Al-Hilal.
Ronaldo has scored 69 goals in 80 games for Al-Nassr since joining in January 2023.
