After missing recent games due to internal tensions and a brief self-imposed break, the 41-year-old reminded everyone of his class with a stunning opener in the 18th minute at the Prince Abdullah Bin Jalawi Stadium. It was his first goal since his birthday on February 5, and it immediately swung momentum back in Al Nassr’s favour.
The strike also brings Ronaldo closer to another historic target. With 962 official goals, he is now just 38 goals away from the unprecedented 1,000-goal milestone a number no player in football history has reached in official matches.
