Cristiano Ronaldo Sets New Goal Record
Cristiano Ronaldo has added another remarkable achievement to his illustrious career by setting a new record for goals scored in a Saudi Pro League season. The 39-year-old superstar made history by surpassing the previous record set by Abderrazak Hamdallah.
Ronaldo’s Record-Breaking Performance
In a thrilling match between Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad at Al Awal Park, Ronaldo scored twice, bringing his total goals for the season to an impressive 35. This feat exceeded Hamdallah’s record of 34 goals from the 2018-2019 season.
Despite a disallowed goal in the 10th minute, Ronaldo managed to equal the record just before halftime. He showcased his skill by controlling a long ball from Mohammed Al-Fatil and finding the back of the net to open the scoring for his team.
After being fouled in the second half and the opposing player receiving a red card, Ronaldo seized the opportunity to score his 35th goal of the season with a header from a corner kick. His exceptional performance led to a well-deserved victory for Al-Nassr.
Final Outcome and Standings
Al-Nassr emerged victorious with a 4-2 win over Al-Ittihad, securing the second position in the league standings. Despite finishing 14 points behind champions Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr ended the season 17 points clear of third-placed Al-Ahli.
Goals from Abdulrahman Ghareeb, Meshari Al-Nemer, Farhah Al-Shamrani, and Fabinho contributed to Al-Nassr’s impressive performance in their final fixture of the campaign.
