Al-Nassr on Thursday night defeated Al-Batin 4-0 to climb to third in the Roshn Saudi League table after four rounds of action.
The victory at Hafr Al-Batin Stadium means the Riyadh club have taken nine points out of 12, their only blemish this season being the 1-0 loss to Al-Taawoun on Sept. 3.
Al-Batin, meanwhile, remain rooted to the bottom of the table with no points.
Al-Nassr’s goals came from the Brazilians Luis Gustavo at 17 minutes and Anderson Talisca at 29; Sami Al-Najei five minutes before the break; and Abdulrahman Ghareeb in the 51st minute.
Rui Garcia’s team will resume their league campaign after the international, when they host Al-Ittihad on Oct. 2, while Al-Batin will visit Al-Khaleej on the same day.
