Ronaldo has just reached the milestone of 1,000 matches at club level in the match against Al Feiha (February 15) in the AFC Champions League. In that match, Ronaldo also left his mark with the only goal, helping the representative of Saudi Arabia have a small advantage before the second leg. His good form helped the Portuguese player continue to be trusted by coach Luis Castro and given the opportunity to start in the match against Al Fateh.
Responding to the trust, the Al Nassr captain opened the scoring in the 17th minute with a powerful shot from nearly 10 meters away. The away team Al Fateh quickly equalized 5 minutes later, but in the second half, Ronaldo's compatriot Otavio had a classy move, sealing a 2-1 victory for Al Nassr in the 72nd minute.
