Cristiano Ronaldo delivered yet another astounding performance on Saturday night scoring his 949th career goal as Al-Nassr defeated visitors Al-Fateh in the Saudi Pro League today. The 45 year old forward almost got his first in the first half but was only able to rattle the bar. He soon scored a screamer just a minute after missing a penalty for Al-Nassr early in the second half, and now has 5 goals and an assist from 5 matches for Nassr so far in the Saudi Pro League this term.
Meanwhile, Joáo Felix and Kingsley Coman both made the scoresheet for Al-Nassr with the former netting trice to claim his second hat trick in five games for Nassr, and the later claiming the fourth goal of the night for the hosts.
Al-Awwal Park was thrown into further hysteria as the Portuguese skipper was seen celebrating and teaching American YouTuber, IShowSpeed, who was in attendance, how to do the post game celebration with Al-Nassr’s Ultra Drums.
Al-Nassr’s Run so far
After finishing third in the last campaign, a Ronaldo powered-Nassr is off to a great start this season with a solid 5 games winning streak and have only conceded twice so far.
They currently sit on top of the league table with 15 points and wins over Al-Taewoun, Al-Kholood, Al-Riyadh, Al-Ittihad, and Al-Fateh.
Mean while, Head coach, Jorge Jesus has been praised for his stellar performance so far in the competition.
What’s next for Ronaldo?
Since joining in 2023, Ronaldo has made 118 appearances for Nassr and has gotten 105 goals and 21 assists across all competitions.
While the 40 year old is having a great time at Saudi Arabia, he still hopes to feature in many more games and will try to reach 950 goals on Wednesday when Al-Nassr travel to Goa for the AFC Champions League Two Group stage Matchday 3 face off, before heading to the 6th round of the Saudi Pro League’s fixture against Al-Hazem next weekend.
