Cristiano Ronaldo’s pursuit of the 1,000-goal milestone gained momentum Saturday as he found the net in Al Nassr’s 2–0 victory over Al Fateh.
Returning to the lineup following a brief protest over league transfer policies, the 41-year-old captain opened the scoring in the 18th minute.
The strike marked his 18th goal of the season and the 962nd of his storied career, further cementing his impact in the Saudi Pro League and keeping Al Nassr’s title hopes alive.
