Cristiano Ronaldo has now scored his 977th career goal following his return to action for Al Nassr on Friday.
The Portuguese player and captain has now netted his 130th goal for Al Nassr in all competitions since joining the Saudi Arabian club in December 2022.
Naija News reports that Ronaldo, who came off the bench, pushed Al Nassr’s dominance further after netting the 4th goal of the match in the 83rd minute following a brilliant assist from Yahya.

Angelo scored the 2nd goal in the 46th minute before Joao Felix turned the scoreboard to 3-0 in the 58th minute.
Ronaldo cemented the victory in the 83rd minute.
