Cristiano Ronaldo scored Al Nassrās last goal, after receiving an assist from Sadio Mane, of their 3-1 win over Al Fateh SC for Matchday 17 of the Saudi Pro League 2024-25. The Portuguese star keeps adding goals to his impressive tally this season.
Ronaldo found the net at the 84th minute of the match, to give his team a breather after their 2-0 advantage was reduced thanks to a Mourad Batnaās goal in the 77th minute mark. While Stefano Pioliās men were superior, they struggled with their effectiveness.
Al Nassr were only able to open the scoring after an own goal from Marwane SaĆ¢dane at the 41th minute mark. In the second half, French right-back Mohamed Simakan scored the second, after an assist from Angelo.
While Ronaldo was very involved in his teamās attack, he had a frustrating night as he had two goals disallowed (offside). However, he still was named man of the match, and has plenty to celebrate too. His goal means he leads the goalscoring table of the Saudi Pro League with 14 units.
Itās also his 920th goal in his professional career, putting him a little bit closer to the 1000 goals. Overall, this season with Al Nassr has been very productive for the Portuguese in terms of goals, scoring 4 in the AFC Champions League and two in the Saudi Super Cup for a total tally of 20. He has also provided three assists.
