Cristiano Ronaldo scored two penalties as Al-Nassr secured back-to-back wins in the Saudi Pro League after losing their first two games.
Ronaldo was denied a first-half hat-trick as the referee wrongly ruled he fouled a defender before producing a brilliant header into the top corner.
He then played in for Sadio Mane, who put the home team three goals ahead with a calm finish before the break.
Sultan Al-Ghannam added a fourth in the second half as Al-Nassr moved up to sixth, still six points behind leader Al-Ittihad.
