Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 30th goal of the season to help Al Nassr win 1-0 against host Al Ahli in round 24 of the Saudi Arabia National Championship.

The 39-year-old Portuguese star successfully scored a penalty in the 68th minute, scoring for the third time in a row after matches against Al Shabab and Al Ain. Notably, 6 of his 10 recent goals have come from penalties and there have been 12 goals this way since the beginning of the season.

Previously, in the 42nd minute, CR7 seemed to have opened the score by running into the penalty area, passing the opponent’s goalkeeper and scoring a brilliant shot from a tight angle, but immediately after that the goal was not recognized because of offside. .

Ronaldo’s goal had special value because it ended Al Nassr’s three consecutive defeats in all competitions, easing the disappointment of just being eliminated from the Asian Champions League. Although the yellow jersey team is unlikely to compete for the championship with Al Hilal (9 points behind and playing one more match), with 56 points, they have widened the gap over the next ranked team, Al Ahli, to 9 points. .

Personally, Ronaldo continues to hold the top scorer position in the Saudi Arabia National Championship with 23 goals in 22 matches. Behind him is Aleksandar Mitrovic (Al Hilal) with 20 goals and teammate Anderson Talisca with 16 goals.

In addition, Ronaldo also reached the round number: his 50th goal in 58 matches with Al Nassr. CR7 is getting closer and closer to his goal of reaching the great milestone of 1,000 goals in his career when he has scored 879 goals.
