Cristiano Ronaldo Scores 100th Saudi League Goal as Al Nassr Beat Al Shabab

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 100th Saudi Pro League goal as Al Nassr defeated Al Shabab 4-2 to stay five points clear at the top of the league table.

Portuguese forward Joao Felix was the star of the match after scoring a hat-trick for Al Nassr.

Ronaldo reached the 100-goal mark in the 72nd minute when he finished from close range after a low cross from Sadio Mane. It was also his 25th league goal of the season.

After the match, Ronaldo celebrated the victory on social media.

The Portuguese captain has now scored 100 or more league goals in England with Manchester United, in Spain with Real Madrid, in Italy with Juventus, and now in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr.

Al Nassr made a fast start as Joao Felix scored twice in the opening 10 minutes. His first goal came after Al Shabab failed to clear a cross from Mane, allowing the forward to score with a right-foot volley.

Seven minutes later, Felix added his second with a powerful header that beat goalkeeper Marcelo Grohe.

Al Shabab tried to fight back when Yannick Carrasco scored to make it 2-1 in the first half.

Ronaldo later extended Al Nassr’s lead before Ali Albulayhi scored for Al Shabab to reduce the score to 3-2.

Joao Felix completed his hat-trick in added time from the penalty spot to seal the win for Al Nassr.

The victory gives Al Nassr a five-point advantage over Al Hilal ahead of Tuesday’s important title clash at Al Awwal Park.

Al Hilal are aiming to win a record 21st Saudi Pro League title, while Al Nassr are hoping to lift the trophy for the first time since 2019.

Ronaldo, now 41, is still chasing his first major trophy with Al Nassr since joining the club in December 2022. The club will also play in the final of the AFC Champions League 2 on May 16.
