In the 17th round of the Saudi Pro League, Al Nassr hosted Al-Fateh at home. Stefano Pioli's team secured a convincing victory, with Cristiano Ronaldo playing a significant role.
The Portuguese star’s team took the lead late in the first half, thanks to an own goal. In the second half, Mohamed Simakan scored his debut goal for the new club, but the visitors quickly responded with a goal of their own.

The decisive moment came in the final minutes, when Ronaldo took matters into his own hands. First, he capitalized on a pass from Sadio Mané to make it 3-1. In stoppage time, he scored a stunning goal from a tight angle, but it was ultimately disallowed due to offside.
With 14 goals, Cristiano is the top scorer of the league, ahead of Mitrović and Benzema. Notably, today’s goal was the 920th of his career. He is now just 80 goals away from the coveted milestone of 1,000.
