Cristiano Ronaldo proved age is just a number (he turns 40 soon! 🎂) by scoring his 920th career goal in Al Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Al Fateh. The Saudi Pro League clash kept fans on the edge of their seats with drama, VAR calls, and a record-breaking finish. 🏟️💥
Ronaldo’s first-half volley was ruled offside by VAR, but Al Nassr still led 1-0 at halftime thanks to an own goal from Al Fateh’s Marwane Saadane. ⚡🤯 Mohamed Simakan’s header off a free kick doubled the lead, but Al Fateh struck back late with Mourad Bartna’s solo effort. ⚽🔥
Just as tension peaked, Ronaldo delivered the knockout punch in the 87th minute, slotting home a cross from Sadio Mane to seal the win. 🐐👑 Despite the victory, Al Nassr remains third in the league, trailing leaders Al Ittihad by eight points. 📊⚡
