The Portuguese striker continues to dazzle the football world, edging ever closer to the legendary 1,000 goal mark, a goal that looks increasingly certain at the current rate of his performances.
Al Hazem did not last long against Al Nassr
In the 25th minute of the match played at the King Abdullah Stadium, Joao Felix opened the scoring for Al Nassr, taking advantage of an excellent pass from Ayman Yahya and sending it precisely into Varela’s goal.
The Riyadh team continued to dominate the game, constantly attacking and creating numerous chances, but Jorge Jesus’ men wasted several clear chances and the scoreboard looked set to remain unchanged.
However, in the 88th minute, the inevitable happened. Cristiano Ronaldo, the absolute top scorer in world football, scored from close to the spot from 11 meters, setting the final score at 2-0. The decisive assist belonged to the Brazilian Wesley.
Hit #950 of CR7’s career
Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal against Al Hazem was a historic one, the 950th in his professional career. The Portuguese superstar needs just 50 more goals to reach the fabulous 1,000 goals, a record that seems inevitable, especially since the player has extended his career at least until the summer of 2027, when his contract with Al Nassr expires. Then, Ronaldo will be 42 years old.
Following Saturday night’s success, Jorge Jesus’ side have collected 18 points and remain top of the table. Moreover, Al Nassr are the only top-scoring Saudi Arabian team after the first six legs, with an impressive 21-2 record that confirms the team’s excellent form at the start of the season.
