The Portuguese icon's clinical performance powered Al-Nassr to a commanding 5-2 victory against Al-Najma in the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo secured a vital brace, moving closer to a historic career milestone.

With the match deadlocked at 2-2 in the 56th minute, Ronaldo stepped up to convert a clinical penalty. The goal restored Al-Nassr’s lead and shifted the momentum firmly back to the league leaders.

Eighteen minutes later, the veteran forward doubled his tally with a composed finish from open play. Although initially under review, the goal was officially confirmed following a VAR consultation.
