Al Nassr forward, Cristiano Ronaldo, moved another step closer to football history after reaching 967 career goals in Al-Nassr’s emphatic 5–2 victory over Al-Najma in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday
Returning from a month-long injury absence, the Portuguese forward showed no signs of rust as he delivered a decisive second-half performance.
According to Fabrizio Romano’s X post on Saturday, “Cristiano Ronaldo returns from injury, scores a crucial penalty and brace for Al Nassr. 967th career goals reached.”
After missing recent matches due to a hamstring issue, Ronaldo marked his comeback in style, underlining his enduring influence at the top level.
Despite facing the league’s bottom side, Al-Nassr were initially stunned as Al-Najma took a surprise lead.
However, the hosts responded just before the break, with Sadio Mane and Abdullah Al Hamdan both finding the net in first-half stoppage time to turn the game around.
The victory marked a 13th consecutive league triumph for Al-Nassr, strengthening their position at the top of the table and extending their lead over rivals Al-Hilal.
With 966 career goals, Ronaldo edges ever closer to the unprecedented 1,000-goal milestone, further cementing his legacy as one of the greatest goal scorers in football history.
