Cristiano Ronaldo Scores His 17th Goal with Al Nassr
Cristiano Ronaldo continues to demonstrate his goalscoring ability. The Portuguese star scored his 17th goal for Al Nassr in the 3-0 victory over Al Kholood. The match, corresponding to matchday 18 of the Saudi Pro League, was played at the King Abdullah Sport City Stadium in Buraydah. With this goal, Ronaldo equals Julián Quiñones, who also has 17 goals this season, but with Al Qadsiah. In the fight for the top scorer title is also Ivan Toney, an English striker who currently has 18 goals. Ronaldo, who has won the Saudi Pro League Golden Boot in two consecutive seasons, is still seeking to reach 1,000 goals in his career. Currently, the Portuguese player has a total of 961 goals. Ronaldo’s goal came after an assist from João Félix, who sent the ball from the left side of the area. Ronaldo, arriving from the center, only had to push the ball to beat the Argentinian goalkeeper Juan Pablo Cozzani. Mohamed Simakan increased Al Nassr’s lead to 2-0 six minutes later. In addition, Hatan Bahbri, midfielder for Al Kholood, received a second yellow card and was sent off, leaving his team with ten players. Aiman Yahya replaced Ronaldo immediately after.
Both teams previously faced each other on September 14, 2025, at Al-Awwal Park, with a 2-0 victory for Al Nassr thanks to goals from Iñigo Martínez and Sadio Mané. Al Nassr has never lost against Al Kholood in an official match.
Al Nassr is currently in third position in the table with 40 points, six behind the leader, Al Hilal, but with a pending match. All teams will play 34 matches this season.
