After a long wait, Cristiano Ronaldo returned to the top of the Saudi League scorers list 2025, after scoring a brace in Al-Nasr’s 3-1 victory over Al-Khaleej.
The Portuguese took the lead in the 65th minute with the first goal thanks to a very smart ground shot, but Al-Khaleej equalized and tied from a penalty kick in the 80th minute.
Sultan Al-Ghannam scored the second goal for Al-Nasr a minute later, before the Don secured victory for his team with a third goal after Haqawi broke away and passed to Ronaldo with the goal empty in the last minute.
