The 2024-25 Saudi Pro League season is just getting started, but in only two games with Al Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo is proving he’s still unstoppable. This time, it’s was Al Feiha’s turn to witness his never-ending talent.
Shortly before halftime, the Portuguese superstar extended his side’s lead with a brilliant set-piece goal to make things 2-0 for Al Nassr. With this free-kick beauty, Ronaldo put himself just one goal shy from reaching 900 career goals.

Following an embarrassing loss to Al Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup, Ronaldo got off to a hot start to the Saudi Pro League by finding the net in the season opener against Al Raed.
Al Nassr failed to win that game though, so Cristiano’s free kick goal this time proved more impactful. Talisca (5′, 95′) and Marcelo Brozovic (85′) were the other scorers for Luis Castro’s side, who ended up winning 4-1 as Fashion Sakala pulled one back for the hosts after 86′.
With this result, Al Nassr got to pick up their first win of the season, leaving behind the Saudi Super Cup loss and the home draw against Al Raeed. Apart from putting his side in the title race, Ronaldo is already on pace to win the Saudi Pro League golden boot for the second straight season.
