Ronaldo Scores Again, Nears 1,000 Career Goals
Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal in Al Nassr's 3-1 victory over Al Faisaly in the Saudi Pro League, moving him to 982 official career goals, just 18 short of the historic milestone of 1,000. The 41-year-old Portugal captain scored with a header in the 48th minute after a free-kick delivery from compatriot João Félix, doubling Al Nassr's lead.
Ronaldo had been on 981 goals since October 12, when he last scored against Neftchi Fargona in the AFC Champions League Elite. Al Nassr's Abdullah Al-Hamdan opened the scoring in the third minute, and although Al Faisaly's Théo Bongonda reduced the deficit in the 65th minute, Ângelo restored the two-goal cushion in the 78th minute.
Ronaldo's disallowed goal shortly after his first did not affect his official tally. His career goals include 450 for Real Madrid, 101 for Juventus, and 145 for Manchester United, alongside 146 for Portugal.
