Al Hilal thrash Al Khaleej 5-1 in Roshn Saudi League clash

Riyadh, Saudi Arabia - Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 978th career goal as Al Nassr edged out Al Taawoun 2-1 in the Saudi Pro League on Friday, maintaining the team's perfect start to the season. The Portuguese forward played the entire match, contributing to Al Nassr's fourth consecutive victory and their top position in the league table.

Al Taawoun took the lead in the 11th minute through Mohammed Bassam Al Hurayji, but Al Nassr equalized in the 26th minute when Samu Costa scored in first-half stoppage time. Ronaldo sealed the win with a crucial goal five minutes into the second half, becoming the club's all-time leading scorer. The victory followed Al Nassr's dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Al Ettifaq on Tuesday, where they scored three goals in the final 16 minutes after trailing 2-0 at halftime.
