Ronaldo Scores for Al Nassr, Nears 1,000-Goal Milestone
On Wednesday, Cristiano Ronaldo scored a powerful header in Al Nassr’s Saudi Pro League match against Abha, breaking the deadlock in the 22nd minute. The goal, assisted by Angelo's corner, was Ronaldo's third in five appearances for Al Nassr in the 2026-27 season and his 132nd for the club since joining.
This strike increased his official career tally to 979 goals, leaving him only 21 goals short of the historic 1,000-goal mark. Ronaldo had initially struggled to convert his first two attempts before successfully scoring.
The goal also helped Al Nassr maintain a strong position at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings, leveling them with Al Hilal on 15 points. With the season still early, Ronaldo's scoring rate of 0.60 goals per game suggests he could reach the milestone within the campaign, especially with over 40 potential matches remaining, including fixtures in the Saudi Pro League, King’s Cup, and AFC Champions League.
