9 May
Summary
- Ronaldo scored his 971st career goal, nearing 1000 milestone.
- João Félix achieved a stunning hat-trick, named man of the match.
- Al Nassr victory moves them closer to securing the league title.
Al Nassr is on the verge of clinching the Saudi Pro League title after a commanding 4-2 victory against Al-Shabab. Cristiano Ronaldo continued his impressive scoring record, netting his 971st career goal in the 75th minute, and setting a new league record by scoring against every team in a single season. His goal brings him within 29 goals of the historic 1,000-goal milestone.
The match also saw a remarkable performance from teammate João Félix, who scored a brilliant hat-trick and was deservedly named man of the match. The win propels Al Nassr closer to the championship, with their next critical fixture against title rivals Al Hilal on May 12.
With a current lead of 82 points to Al Hilal's 77, a victory in the upcoming derby would mathematically secure the league title for Al Nassr. The team is also competing in the AFC Cup final on May 16, pursuing a potential double this season. Ronaldo's recent scoring form and Al Nassr's pursuit of silverware highlight a strong end to his season.
