Cristiano Ronaldo edged closer to yet another remarkable career milestone on Saturday, bagging his 962nd goal in Al Nassr’s comfortable 2-0 triumph over Al Fateh.

The Portuguese international, returning to the starting XI after a short hiatus, wasted no time in making his mark, finding the back of the net in the 18th minute. This strike marked his 18th goal of the current season, showcasing his continued prolific form.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner demonstrated his enduring class, seamlessly linking up with teammates and consistently threatening the opposition’s defence. His trademark intensity and movement were on full display, proving he has lost none of his sharpness.

Ronaldo’s crucial goal not only sealed the three points for Al Nassr but also extended his impressive scoring run since his arrival in Saudi Arabia. This vital victory provides a significant boost for Al Nassr as they continue their pursuit of domestic silverware, with their talismanic forward once again proving to be the decisive factor upon his return to the pitch.
