Watch.. Ronaldo shakes the net of Al-Fateh and raises his tally to 962 goals
Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal since turning 41, helping Al Nassr advance against Al-Fateh in the Saudi Pro League, bringing his total career goals to 962.
Cristiano Ronaldo marked his return to Al Nassr with a significant milestone as he scored his first goal in the Saudi Pro League against Al-Fateh during the 22nd round of the tournament. This goal, which he netted in the 18th minute thanks to a precise assist from Sadio Mane, brought his total number of career goals to 962, underscoring his continued prowess as a forward even at the age of 41. Ronaldo's performance not only highlights his individual talent but also contributes positively to his team's standing in the league.
The match was held at the Prince Abdullah bin Jlowi Stadium, and Ronaldo's goal came after he had missed the last three games for Al Nassr, raising questions regarding his fitness and commitment to the team. With this strike, he has now accumulated 18 goals this season, placing him second in the league's top scorers list, on par with the Mexican forward Julian Quinones from Al Qadisiyah. This achievement showcases his ability to compete at a high level despite being one of the oldest players in the league.
Ronaldo's comeback is also notable as he becomes the third player in Saudi Pro League history to score at the age of 41 or older. His dedication to maintaining his scoring form continues to defy age-related expectations in professional football. This goal not only reaffirms Ronaldo's status as a leading scorer in the league but also renews excitement among fans about his contributions to the game and his team's prospects for the season.
