- Two goals for Ronaldo
- Five goals in four days
- Team goal followed by penalty
Ronaldo struck twice in the first half at Juegos del Mediterraneo stadium to turn the game on its head and give Al-Nassr the lead. Ronaldo first came after a fantastic team move involving Sadio Mane, before he fired home a penalty to continue his devastating prowess in front of goal for the Saudi side. Al-Nassr’s official X page called the Portuguese’s first strike “a perfect goal”.
Ronaldo continues a red-hot scoring streak with five goals in just a matter of days, after a hat-trick against Portuguese top-flight side Rio Ave on Thursday. The 40-year-old has struck 800 career goals including 99 for Al-Nassr in competitive fixtures and there is little doubt that we will continue to see the former Real Madrid and Manchester United star find the net in the new season. He recently stated that the “hunger never fades”.
Al-Nassr face Al Ittihad in the Super Cup on August 19 in their next crunch clash, where Ronaldo may look to score his 100th competitive goal for the club ahead of what will be another important season in a World Cup year. The legendary forward is believed to want to compete for his native Portugal alongside new team-mate Joao Felix in North America in summer 2026, and may even aim to win the Golden Boot at the tournament.
