As Al Nassrlooks to get closer to the first place in the Saudi Pro League, Portuguese ace Cristiano Ronaldo scored the opening goal for his team once again. Now, the yellow-and-blue lead against Al Hazem.
Cristiano Ronaldo, being the great striker he is, received a magnificent through ball from Kinglsey Coman and proceeded to strike it just enough to avoid Al Hazemās keepers hands with his left foot. For his second goal, it was pretty much dejĆ”-vu. Ronaldo once again received another through ball, and once again crossed it with his left foot to find the back of the net.
Cristiano Ronaldo had another great option just minutes after the first goal, but after going around the keeper, he was just tackled before he could slot in his second goal. Itās clear the Portuguese keeps being a dangerous player once the ball is inside the opposing teamās box.
This goal marked a huge milestone for Cristiano Ronaldo
With the first goal, CR7 reached 500 career goals after turning 30 years old. This is just a reminder of how great heās been and how heās managed to stay a killer inside the box. Whether itās with his right or left foot, or even with his headers, Ronaldo is lethal and thatās why Al Nassr pay him the big bucks.
Cristiano also has more goals scored after turning 30 than in his 20s. The longevity is absolutely insane to even fathom. Ronaldo missed a couple of game while protesting due to frustration over the clubās lack of investment compared to rivals Al Hilal. Still, he came back on fire.

Howās Ronaldoās quest to reach 1,000 goals?
The two goals put Ronaldoās tally at 964 career goals. The 41-year-old is on firm pace to reach 1,000 goals in his career. Many storylines have developed on that. Many state he needs to score more than once to be able to reach the treshold during the 2026 World Cup. It is a very tough feat.
Still, Ronaldo is scoring left, right, and center. The Portuguese has given no hints of retiring, so he might not be bothered by that timeline, although it would be a poetic thing. In the end, he is focused on winning soccer games.
