Ronaldo scores header for Al-Nassr, reaches 982 career goals

Cristiano Ronaldo ended his scoring drought by netting a goal for Al-Nassr against host Al-Faisaly on Friday evening. The match took place during Round 11 of the Saudi Pro League "Roshn."

Goal details and disallowed strikes

The Portuguese star opened the scoring for the "Global" team in the 49th minute with a header. This strike restored his confidence after he missed a penalty and several other chances against guest Neom in the previous round.

Two minutes later, Ronaldo added a second personal goal. However, officials disallowed it due to an offside call on Saudi forward Abdullah Al-Hamdan, who provided the assist.

League records and career milestones

With this performance, the "Madeira Rocket" has now found the back of the net against 25 of the 26 clubs he has faced since joining the Saudi league. Only Al-Batin remains unscathed by his goals.

Ronaldo, aged 41, has accumulated five goals across eight matches in the current season's professional football competition. His latest tally brings his total career output to 982 goals, leaving him just 18 strikes away from reaching the symbolic 1,000-goal milestone.
