Published 12 April 2026

Cristiano Ronaldo scored the opener as Al Nassr secured a 2-0 victory over Al Okhdood on Saturday, extending their unbeaten run and strengthening their position at the top of the Saudi Pro League standings.

The match, played at Prince Hathloul Bin Abdulaziz Sport City Stadium in Najran, saw Al Nassr take control early. In the 15th minute, Nawaf Boushal played a through ball to Ronaldo, who broke into the penalty area and slotted past goalkeeper Samuel Portugal to give the visitors the lead. Joao Felix doubled the advantage two minutes into the second half, volleying home the rebound after Kingsley Coman's header struck the post following a cross from Sadio Mane. Al Okhdood, languishing in 17th place and fighting relegation, managed a few threats, including a long-range shot from Pedroza and a header from Gul, but failed to seriously test Al Nassr goalkeeper Bento.

The result marked Al Nassr's 14th consecutive league win, surpassing the club's previous record of 13 straight victories set during the 2013-14 season. That earlier streak had propelled the team to the title, a precedent that underscores the significance of their current form. The run began on January 17 with a 3-2 win...
