Cristiano Ronaldo's brace, or two goals, led Al-Nassr to a 4-2 victory over Al-Ittihad in the closing match of the Saudi Arabian League at Al-Awwal Stadium on Tuesday (May 28, 2024).
CR7 scored two goals in the 45+3rd and 69th minutes. As a result, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 35 goals in 31 matches. Besides scoring goals, he also contributed 11 assists for Al-Nassr in his first season with the club.
This achievement makes the 39-year-old star the top scorer of the 2023/2024 Saudi Arabian League—breaking the previous record of 34 goals held by Abderrazak Hamdallah in the 2019/2020 season.
However, this tally could still increase because Ronaldo and Al-Nassr will play one more match this season against Al-Hilal in the final of the Saudi Arabian King's Cup at the Radiant Jewel Stadium, Jeddah, on Saturday (June 1, 2024).
Below Ronaldo in the top scorer list is Aleksandar Mitrovic (Al-Hilal) with 28 goals, followed by Fashion Sakala (Al-Fayha) and Abderrazak Hamdallah (Al-Ittihad), both with 19 goals this season.
