Cristiano Ronaldo, Al Nassr extend record winning streak as SPL title looks closer

Al Nassr, led by Cristiano Ronaldo continue their dominant run in the 2025–26 Saudi Pro League after securing another key victory, this time a 1–0 win over Al Ittifaq. The result extends the club’s historic winning streak and strengthens its position at the top of the standings.

The decisive moment came in the 31st minute, when Kingsley Coman capitalized on a rebound following a shot from Ronaldo, finishing the play to give Al Nassr the lead. While Ronaldo didn’t score, he remains at 968 career goals, just 32 away from reaching 1,000, and his involvement was still key in a match defined by small details.

This latest victory marks Al Nassr’s 15th consecutive win in league play, setting a new club record and surpassing the previous mark of 13 straight wins from the 2013–14 season. The streak highlights the team’s consistency after a difficult start to 2026.

Al Nassr’s current run has significantly boosted their title chances. The team now sits at the top of the Saudi Pro League with 76 points in 29 matches, holding an eight-point lead over second-place Al Hilal, who still have a game in hand.
