Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 21st goal of the Saudi Pro League season as Al Nassr won 2-1 against Al Fateh. The match happened after a break, and both teams hadn’t played in the league for a while. Ronaldo’s goal helped Al Nassr to close the gap to the top team, Al Hilal.
The game wasn’t easy for Al Nassr, especially with Al Fateh putting up a tough fight. But Otavio’s goal in the 72nd minute secured the victory for Al Nassr.
Ronaldo made his mark early in the game, scoring in the 17th minute thanks to a clever pass from Otavio and an assist from Sultan Al Ghannam. His quick finish gave Al Nassr the lead.
However, Al Fateh didn’t give up easily. They managed to equalize with a goal from Salem Al Najdi in the 29th minute. The game seemed like it might end in a draw until Otavio stepped up again with another goal, assisted once more by Al Ghannam.
With this win, Al Nassr now sits four points behind Al Hilal in the league standings. Al Hilal still has a game in hand against Al Raed, so the competition remains tight.
Despite his impressive performance, Ronaldo is yet to win the Saudi Pro League since joining Al Nassr in January 2023.
So, Ronaldo’s goal helped Al Nassr secure a crucial victory, but they still have ground to make up if they want to claim the top spot in the league.
