Cristiano Ronaldo continued his brilliance with Al-Nassr this season, scoring a goal in the global team’s 3-1 victory over Al-Fateh in the 17th round of the Saudi League.
Perhaps the most prominent shot in the match was Al-Fateh’s goal, which came with a mistake that can only be described as comical by Al-Nassr goalkeeper Pinto.
The Brazilian almost made a mistake on the goal line after he was late in the pass, and luck helped him, so he decided to try again to dribble Al-Fateh’s attackers, but this time he failed.
The ball reached Murad Batna, who easily put it in the net and revived the match for Al-Fateh by making the score 2-1.

But Cristiano Ronaldo appeared and ended the controversy completely, after he took advantage of a strong ground cross from Sadio Mane, which he converted with one touch into the net in the 86th minute.
The 39-year-old raised his goal tally to 14 goals in the Saudi League this season, thus continuing to lead the competition’s top scorers.

Overall, it was Ronaldo’s 20th goal of the season, and 919th of his career, taking him one step closer to his current ultimate goal of reaching 1,000 goals before retiring.
