In the Matchday 19 clash of the Saudi Pro League, Al-Nassr travelled away to face Al-Kholood, and once again the legendary footballer found the net.
Details: At the start of the second half, Al-Nassr seized their moment, and after a pass from João Félix, Cristiano Ronaldo put his team ahead. It was his 961st goal of his career. He is now just 39 goals away from the 1,000 mark.
If Al-Nassr win, they will move up to second place in the table and cut the gap to Al-Hilal to just three points.
Reminder: Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo, the 40-year-old star of Saudi club Al-Nassr, has decided not to extend his contract and will leave the team in the summer of 2027.
