The Nasrawi entered the game on the back of nine consecutive victories since the start of the league.
No team had ever won their first ten games of the season until a Ronaldo inspired side achieved the feat on Saturday night with a 3-0 victory over Al Akhdoud.
Al Nassr have been invincible under new manager Jorge Jesus, who took over the reins last summer following a disappointing season.
Two first half goals from Ronaldo and a stoppage time effort from Joao Felix were enough to keep Al Nassr four points clear at the top.
Ronaldo has now moved to the top of the scorers’ chart in the league with his eleventh and twelfth goal of the campaign.
This season, Al Nassr have won all their league and AFC Champions League Two games, losing only in the King’s Cup to Al Ittihad.

Elsewhere, ten man Damac held hosts Al Qadsiah to a 1-1 draw despite playing the last ten minutes with a man less.
The inconsistent Al Ittihad made it back to back league wins thanks to a 2-0 victory over struggling Al Shabab.
Goals from Steven Bergwijn and Ahmed Alghamdi either sides of the game were enough to move Sergio Conceicao’s men to 6th on the log.
