Cristiano Ronaldo reaches 50-goal landmark for Al-Nassr
Ronaldo has scored 23 goals this season in the league
On Friday, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the lone goal in Al-1-0âs victory over Al-Ahli, marking his 50th goal for Al-Nassr.In the 68th minute, Ronaldo scored a goal from the penalty spot with poise. Al-Nassr are presently nine points behind league leaders Al-Hilal in second place in the Saudi Pro League.
Having 22 goals in the current campaign, the 39-year-old Ronaldo leads the Saudi Pro League in goals scored. After leaving Manchester United in January 2023, he joined Al-Nassr and has scored frequently since then.
Al-Nassrâs triumph put a stop to a dismal run of recent form that included four games without a victory across all competitions. In the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League, Al-Nassr was eliminated after losing to Al-Ain on penalties.
During the match, there was a brawl between the two teams, and Sadio Mane of Al-Nassr was sent off for seizing Kouame Autonne from the opposition.
