Portuguese forward Cristiano Ronaldo moved closer to another historic milestone on Saturday after scoring his 962nd career goal in Al Nassr FC\u2019s 2-0 victory over Al Fateh SC.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ronaldo, who returned to the starting line-up after a brief absence, opened the scoring in the 18th minute with a clinical finish. The goal marked his 18th of the season, underlining his continued influence in front of goal.<\/p>\n

The five-time Ballon d\u2019Or winner delivered an energetic display, combining effectively with his teammates and consistently troubling the opposition defence with his movement and sharp positioning.<\/p>\n

His early strike set the tone for Al Nassr\u2019s commanding performance, as the home side secured all three points in comfortable fashion.<\/p>\n

Since joining the Saudi Pro League outfit, Ronaldo has maintained an impressive scoring record, playing a key role in the club\u2019s domestic ambitions. Saturday\u2019s victory strengthens Al Nassr\u2019s push for silverware, with the veteran forward once again proving decisive on his return to action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
