Ronaldo’s 950th Goal Sparks Six-Game Winning Streak for Al Nassr

Match Recap

Al Nassr extended their Roshen Saudi Pro League winning streak to six with a 2-0 victory over Al Hazm at the King Abdullah Sports City Stadium in Buraydah. Ronaldo reached a remarkable milestone, his 950th career goal across all competitions, as his side maintained their place at the summit after another dominant display.

The visitors began with high-intensity pressing, and the opener arrived in the 25th minute when Joao Felix volleyed home a precise finish to put the team ahead. Ronaldo added the second in the 88th minute, confirming control and solidifying Al Nassr’s superiority as the match wore on.

Ronaldo took to social media to celebrate, posting that he was “happy to help the team win and reach 950 goals, always hungry for more.” This latest strike increased his tally for Al Nassr to 80 goals, leaving him just one behind league legend Salem Al-Dawsari’s 81 goals in the official Roshen era records.

Golden lead and continued optimism

With this win, Al Nassr solidified top spot, moving to 18 points from six straight wins under coach Jorge Jesus, who continues to push the squad toward peak form both domestically and in Asia. The team also boasted a compact defensive showing, conceding only two goals in the campaign so far.

Al Nassr now sit three points clear of the second-placed team, while Al Hazm remain on five points and sit precariously in the lower mid-table. The result underscored the gulf in class and depth between the sides on the night.

Ronaldo: 950 and still counting

The Portuguese superstar was quick to credit the team’s collective effort for the milestone, explaining that each game is a new challenge and that the squad is determined to keep the momentum going. He also noted the squad’s balance between attack and defense as a key factor in sustaining their position at the top of the league.

Simakan: clean sheets and goals aren’t accidents

Mohammed Simakan, a defender for Al Nassr, spoke after the match about the tactical discipline and defensive resilience that helped secure the clean sheet and the two goals. He emphasized the importance of continuity and hard work, praising the manager’s plan and the players’ execution in both halves of the game.

Simakan added that the team’s mindset centers on consistent performance and an unwavering focus on the next fixture. He also reiterated the squad’s confidence ahead of their upcoming King Cup tie with Al Ittihad, a match many view as a potential banner moment for the campaign.

Ali Al Hassan: away wins demand resilience

Midfielder Ali Al Hassan highlighted the difficulty of securing a league win away from home, noting the physical strain and tactical pressure faced on the road. He stressed that the team’s collective spirit made the difference and hinted at preparations for a big cup clash against Al Ittihad.

When asked about speculation linking Ronaldo with other clubs, Al Hassan joked that the chatter is just a clip circulating on social media, insisting that he’s aNras (Nassr) player who is focused on the current challenge.

Jesus: winning remains the target

Jorge Jesus reaffirmed that the win over Al Hazm was crucial for preserving their momentum and maintaining the lead, despite fatigue from travel during the season. He praised the squad’s balance and explained that while no team is perfect, the numbers—16 goals scored and two conceded—demonstrate strong defensive and offensive development. He also praised the league’s competitive growth and the quality brought by increased foreign players this season.

Season outlook: exceptional form and imperial ambition

The club’s campaign has been exceptional, with a striking blend of aggressive attacking play and disciplined defense. In Asia, Al Nassr continued to impress in the AFC Champions League 2, logging three consecutive wins to top their group. They also advanced to the King’s Cup Round of 16 by beating Jeddah 4-0 and now prepare for a high-profile clash with Al Ittihad later in the week.

As the league season progresses, the world watches whether Al Nassr can translate domestic dominance into continental success, with Ronaldo’s goal tally serving as both a personal landmark and a symbol of the team’s ambition.

Punchline 1: Ronaldo’s aim is so sharp that even the scoreboard needs a laser pointer to keep up. Punchline 2: If goals were comedy, Ronaldo would have his own stand-up special—every joke lands, and the goalkeeper pays the bill in despair.
