The Portuguese star was on the scoresheet against Al Ain in the AFC Champions League.
Al-Nassr, defeated Al Ain 5-1 in the AFC Champions League midweek after losing to Al Taawoun 1-0 in the King’s Cup. They also held rivals Al-Hilal to a 1-1 draw.
Talisca, who has eight goals this season—six of which have come in the league—is tied with Cristiano Ronaldo after opening and closing the scoring for Al-Alami in their most recent game.
The Portuguese superstar also scored in midweek to increase his season goal total to ten. However, he has now not scored from open play in his previous six league games, scoring all three of his goals from the penalty spot during that period.
Since coming to the Middle East in mid-September, Stefano Pioli has achieved a record of four victories and two draws in his first six games in charge, but while his team are still undefeated this season, they are behind second place by five points, due to four ties in their nine outings to date.

Will Cristiano Ronaldo play tonight?
After his outstanding play for both club and nation since the beginning of the season, Cristiano Ronaldo is available to play in the forthcoming match against Al-Riyadh.
The striker was on the scoresheet against Al Ain as Al Nassr prevailed 5-1 in the game and the former Real Madrid star will hope to continue his goalscoring form when they face Al-Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League.
However, in surprising speculation, it has been understood that Ronaldo’s time at the club may come to an end in the winter transfer window as the Portuguese could leave the club and join rival side Al-Hilal.
According to sources, rival team Al Hilal are eager to sign Cristiano Ronaldo, suggesting that his time at Al Nassr is coming to an end. The Portuguese forward is being considered by the Saudi powerhouses as an alternate candidate for Neymar, who has a history of injury issues and is said to be moving to Inter Miami during the next transfer window.
