Ronaldo's 979th career goal was a highlight of the match, but he also had a negative impact on the game. In the final quarter, he gestured to a teammate to move out of the wall, and they obliged. This led to a goal for Nabil Fékir, who scored by shooting the ball past the wall into the corner.
Al-Nassr, the reigning champion of the Saudi Pro League, was on the hunt for their fifth win in six matches. Ronaldo's goal helped them take an early lead, and they eventually secured a 2-1 victory. The win keeps Al-Nassr at the top of the table, tied with Al-Hilal and Al-Qadisah.
Ronaldo is now just 21 goals away from reaching the milestone of 1,000 career goals.
