Ronaldo Extends Goal-Scoring Legacy with 950th Strike
Cristiano Ronaldo has once again etched his name into football history by scoring his 950th career goal during Al-Nassr’s commanding 2-0 victory against Al-Hazm in the Saudi Pro League. The Portuguese superstar’s clinical finish in the 88th minute demonstrated why he remains one of football’s most prolific goal-scorers, even as he approaches the twilight of his career.
Al-Nassr Maintains Perfect League Start
Al-Nassr continued their impressive start to the season with a well-executed performance that showcased their dominance in the Saudi Pro League. Joao Felix opened the scoring with a powerful header in the 25th minute, setting the tone for what would become a convincing three-point haul. With Ronaldo’s late strike, the team secured their sixth consecutive league victory, maintaining their position at the top of the standings and signaling their credentials as serious title contenders this season.
A Historic Milestone in Football
The 950-goal achievement comes just a day after Lionel Messi surpassed Ronaldo’s previous record of 890 goals, underlining the remarkable rivalry that has defined modern football. While Messi reached this milestone at a younger age of 38 years and 122 days compared to Ronaldo’s 39 years and 89 days, Ronaldo’s latest achievement demonstrates his continued hunger for goals. Ronaldo scored 80 goals in the Saudi league across 106 appearances for Al-Nassr since joining in December 2022, and has extended his contract until 2027.
