Ronaldo hits 950th as Al Nassr beat Al Hazm to stay top

Cristiano Ronaldo marked a personal milestone as Al Nassr beat Al Hazm 2-0 away, scoring his 950th career goal and helping his side extend a perfect start to the Saudi Pro League season, but the victory followed a week in which the club were knocked out of the Kings Cup and the Portugal forward faced public criticism. João Félix opened the scoring in the league match before Ronaldo sealed the win with a late finish, a strike he celebrated on X by posting, "Happy to help the team win and to hit 950 goals! Always hungry for more!"

Félix put Al Nassr ahead in the 25th minute with a header from a cross by Ayman Yahya, his ninth league goal in six games, and the club maintained momentum through a collective performance that lifted them to a double-digit winning run since the start of the season and left them three points clear at the top of the table. Ronaldo returned to the starting lineup after being rested for Al Nassr's midweek AFC Champions League win over FC Goa and added his sixth league goal of the campaign with an 88th-minute close-range finish. He created three chances in the match and, according to match statistics, touched the ball 31 times.
