This morning (December 9), Al Nassr welcomed Al Riyadh in the match in round 16 of the Saudi Pro League. Against a much underrated opponent, Ronaldo and his teammates easily won.
CR7 was the one who helped Al Nassr take the lead in the 33rd minute of the match. Before the first half ended, the Portuguese superstar once again contributed to the goal when he provided an assist to Otavio to double the gap.
Al Nassr’s remaining two goals scored in the second half were thanks to Talisca in minutes 67 and 90+4. Al Riyadh’s only honorable goal belonged to Gray with a goal in the 68th minute. Al Nassr’s 4-1 victory also marked Cristiano Ronaldo’s 1,200th career appearance. At the age of 38 and about to turn 39, the Portuguese striker still shows no signs of stopping.
Currently, Ronaldo is still making waves in the Saudi Pro League, leading both the scoring and assisting lists in the tournament. CR7 has 16 goals and 8 assists after 15 appearances this season.
Sharing after the match, Ronaldo thanked his teammates and expressed his high determination for the journey ahead: “Continue to win 3 points. Thank you to all my teammates who helped me reach the milestone of 1200 matches. It’s been a very special journey, but it hasn’t stopped yet.”
