Cristiano Ronaldo on target as Al-Nassr down Al-Ahli to stay top

Cristiano Ronaldo moved one step nearer to the extraordinary milestone of 1,000 official goals after scoring in Al‑Nassr’s 2‑0 win over Al‑Ahli SFC. The Portuguese forward, now on 971 goals for club and country, opened the scoring before Kingsley Coman sealed the result. The victory in Round 30 strengthened Al‑Nassr’s position at the top of the Saudi Pro League, taking them to 79 points, eight clear of Al‑Hilal, who still have a game in hand. Al‑Ahli remain third with 66 points and a match to play.

In his fourth season in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo is still chasing his first domestic league title, with Jorge Jesus’s side competing on multiple fronts, including the Champions League Two final against Gamba Osaka on 16 May. The 39‑year‑old continues to deliver decisive performances and now needs just twenty‑nine more goals to reach the historic four‑figure landmark that has long defined his remarkable career.
