On the night of April 4, in the 27th round of the Saudi Arabian football championship, Al-Nassr defeated Al-Najma by a large margin in their home stadium. In the match, Al-Nassr's captain Cristiano Ronaldo scored the 966th and 967th goals of his career.
Lent.az reports that the 41-year-old forward first accurately converted a penalty and then scored from open play. The match ended with a 5:2 victory for Al-Nassr.
Currently, the Portuguese footballer has a total of 967 goals. Of these, 825 were scored at club level and 142 for the Portuguese national team.
It should be noted that Ronaldo scored this double in his first game back on the field after a month-long recovery process.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 23 goals in 23 games in the Saudi Arabian Championship and is in third place in the list of top scorers in the tournament. Al-Nassr leads the current season's standings with 70 points. In addition, the team has a winning streak of 13 games in the local championship since January 17.
Cristiano Ronaldo fully recovered from his injury just a week ago and started preparing for the Saudi Arabian Championship games again. He underwent treatment in Spain and therefore had to miss his national team's recent gatherings.
