Cristiano Ronaldo has moved closer to a historic milestone after scoring his 967th career goal in Al Nassr’s 5–2 victory over Al-Najma in the Saudi Pro League.
Returning from a month-long injury, Ronaldo delivered a standout performance, netting twice in the second half to help his team secure a convincing win.
After Al Nassr fell behind before halftime, the team responded strongly with late first-half goals to turn the game around.
Ronaldo then took control after the break, converting a penalty to restore the lead before adding another goal to take his tally to 967.
The result extended Al Nassr’s strong run in the league and boosted their position in the title race.
Ronaldo’s latest achievement further highlights his remarkable longevity and consistency, as the 41-year-old edges closer to the unprecedented milestone of 1,000 career goals.
