Cristiano Ronaldoscored Al Nassr’s first goal on penalty in the 32nd minute to lead his team to victory over Al Ettifaq in Matchday 4 of the Saudi Pro League.
With this penalty goal, the Portuguese player reaches 902 goals scored in his career, making him the player who has scored the most goals in the sport history.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal is giving the team a very important victory that would leave them in second place with 8 points, behind the top three teams with 9 points.
CR7 returns to play for Al Nassr after missing the previous match in which his team drew 1-1 against Al Shorta in the AFC Champions League. The Portuguese’s absence was due to a recommendation from the team doctor, who suggested that the striker should rest.

The 5 times Ballon d’Or winner is already on his way to pursuing a historic 1000th career goal. CR7 is now 98 goals away from that milestone, and even though he’s not getting any younger, the striker will try and continue defying Father Time for as long as he can.
