Cristiano Ronaldo, the all-time leading scorer in soccer history, continues to shine on the pitch, this time finding the back of the net to give Al Nassr the lead over Al Qadsiah in Saudi Pro League action and reaching the 911th goal in his career.
The goal came after a misplay by Al Qadsiah’s goalkeeper, Belgian Koen Casteels. Following an overhit corner kick, Angelo sent the ball back into the box, creating chaos in the defense. Casteels fumbled the delivery, leaving Ronaldo perfectly positioned to pounce on the rebound and bury the ball into the net, putting Al Nassr up 1-0.
