In a commanding display on 19 October 2025, Al Nassr claimed a 5-1 victory over Al Fateh to remain unbeaten and top the Saudi Pro League table. Ronaldo featured prominently with a brilliant long-range goal, a missed penalty, and his influence clearly felt throughout the match.
The game kicked off at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, and Al Nassr were in clinical mood. They opened the scoring with contributions from other attack-minded players, but Ronaldo’s highlight came in the 60th minute when he rifled a sensational strike from the right corner of the box into the net. Before that, he had missed a penalty when his tame attempt was comfortably saved by a diving keeper.
One of the other stars on the day was João Félix, who completed a hat-trick with goals in the 13th, 68th and 79th minutes. Additionally, Kingsley Coman added the fourth goal in the 75th minute. Ronaldo’s strike helped underline his enduring class at age 40, and the result reinforced Al Nassr’s dominance — five matches, five wins, with a goal difference of +17 so far.
In the aftermath, Ronaldo posted a strong message on social media: “Success is not an accident,” underlining his commitment and professionalism even at a stage of his career when most players would have wound down.
The win also serves as a statement of intent from Al Nassr, showing they are serious contenders domestically and looking to carry momentum into continental competitions. With the squad blending experience and high-profile talent, they have set themselves up for a strong season ahead.
