Cristiano Ronaldo continues his record-breaking streak in 2025, achieving his second major milestone of the year during Al Nassr's 3-1 victory over Al Akhdoud in the Saudi Pro League. Ronaldo's contribution was pivotal in securing the win and cementing his legacy in the league.
The game started on a tense note for Al Nassr as Al Akhdoud took an early lead with a 6th-minute goal. However, Al Nassr quickly regained control, displaying resilience and determination. In the 29th minute, Sadio Mané capitalized on a deflected shot by Sultan Al-Ghannam, equalizing the score at 1-1.

Ronaldo, a master from the spot, stepped up and delivered with trademark precision, giving his team a 2-1 advantage. This marked Ronaldo’s first goal of 2025, setting the tone for another prolific year.
