In matchday 33 of the Saudi Pro League, Al-Nassr welcomed Al-Khaleej on their home turf. The encounter was marked by a decisive moment from Cristiano Ronaldo.
Details: In the dying minutes of the match, Al-Nassr were awarded their second penalty of the night, and once again, Cristiano Ronaldo stepped up to the spot. This time, he coolly slotted home the penalty, putting the game to bed.
This goal marked the 935th of the Portuguese striker’s illustrious career. Just 65 more to reach the coveted one thousand mark.
Earlier, in the 66th minute with the score still goalless, Al-Nassr had earned their first penalty. Ronaldo, of course, took responsibility, but couldn’t even hit the target.
Worth noting: The legendary Portuguese forward has reportedly received a transfer offer from Moroccan club Wydad Casablanca, who are set to play in the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 this summer.
