Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 979th career goal, bringing him just 21 goals away from the 1,000-goal milestone, during Al Nassr's 2-1 victory over Abha in the Saudi Pro League. The 41-year-old Portuguese forward opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a header, aided by Angelo's corner, and scored his third league goal of the 2026-27 season in five appearances. The win leaves Al Nassr tied for the top spot in the league table with Al Hilal and Al Qadsiah, who have also won five of their first six matches.
