Ronaldo claims Al Nassr milestone
The winning strike saw Ronaldo bring up his tally to half-century goals for the Saudi giants in his 58th appearance since making the high-profile move from Manchester United in January 2023.
It's the latest record to tumble for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, whose outrageous scoring feats show no signs of letting up even in the twilight of his career.
Ronaldo had a quiet evening against a stubborn Al-Ahli side who proved a nut to crack against their dominant hosts.
But the legendary marksman made no mistake when the chance arrived from 12 yards, sweeping the ball beyond the goalkeeper into the bottom corner.
The result strengthens Al-Nassr's grip on second place after 24 matches as they bid to chase down leaders Al-Hilal and claim the SPL title.
While domestic glory is the first target, Ronaldo's blistering form and landmark goals continue to illustrate his ambitious claims of playing into his 40s cannot be discounted.
Already the highest scorer in men's international football, the Portugal captain is showing no signs of slowing down his insatiable appetite for goal-scoring records.
As the Saudi season enters its crucial stage, you can be sure Ronaldo will be laser-focused on overhauling more milestones as his eternal quest to be the best goes on.
