(Dan Tri) - Cristiano Ronaldo could not stop scoring as he once again contributed greatly to Al Nassr's 2-1 victory over Al Raed in the match of round 18 of the Saudi Pro League on the morning of January 31.
Ronaldo turns 40 on February 5, but he shows no signs of slowing down. The match against Al Raed early this morning (January 31, Vietnam time) marks the 8th match in which the Portuguese striker has scored in the last 9 matches for Al Nassr.
His latest goal was a gentle touch into the box from a set-piece to open the scoring in the 35th minute. Midfielder Marcelo Brozovic took the free kick from the left, curling the ball into the far corner, right in the path of Ronaldo who dived down to score from close range.
Ronaldo raised his hand to indicate he had touched the ball, then ran to the corner of the field and made his familiar "Siuuu" celebration.

In the 47th minute, Ronaldo assisted the home team's decisive goal with a perfect pass to left-back Nawaf Noushal. This was the first time since October 5, 2024 that Ronaldo had scored and assisted in a match for Al Nassr.
The goal in this match marked Ronaldo's 921st career goal and helped the Portuguese striker lead the race for the "Top scorer" in the Saudi Pro League with 15 goals in 18 matches.
The two players behind, Karim Benzema and Aleksandar Mitrovic scored 13 and 12 goals for Al Ittihad and Al Hilal respectively.
Al Nassr moved up to third place in the standings behind Al Hilal and Al Ittihad, five points behind the two teams mentioned above, but also having played one more game.
In the next match, Al Nassr returned to their home stadium in Riyadh to meet UAE club Al Wasl in the penultimate round of the AFC Champions League group stage on the evening of February 3.
