(VIDEO) Cristiano Ronaldo’s goal is not enough for Al-Nassr; the tally now stands at 958

Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr suffered a frustrating night in the Saudi Pro League as they fell 2-1 to Al-Qadisiya on Matchday 14. While the final score was far from what the Portuguese star had envisioned, the legendary forward still managed to make history by registering his first goal of 2026—the 958th of his unparalleled professional career. It is a figure that continues to expand the "Luso" legend’s legacy, proving that his hunger for goals knows no end.

It was an uphill battle for Al-Nassr from the opening whistle. The home side struggled to impose their rhythm against a disciplined Al-Qadisiya squad that capitalized on early opportunities and defensive lapses. This defeat is a significant blow for Ronaldo’s team, as it sees them lose ground to league-leaders Al-Hilal, who currently sit at the top of the table with 35 points.

The Road to 958: Clinical from the Spot

Ronaldo’s moment of brilliance came in the 82nd minute. After the referee awarded a penalty to Al-Nassr—a decision that also resulted in a red card for Al-Qadisiya’s Nahitan Nández—Cristiano took charge of the ball. With his trademark composure, he fired a precise strike into the bottom right corner.

With this goal, Ronaldo reaches 14 goals for the season, further solidifying his position as the current top scorer of the Saudi championship.

Defying Time: Nearly 41 and Still Dominant

This strike against Al-Qadisiya summarizes two decades of elite consistency, ambition, and a relentless drive to shatter every record in football history. At nearly 41 years old, Cristiano continues to extend his lead as the all-time top scorer in professional football, breaking barriers that seemed unreachable decades ago.

Despite the collective frustration of the result, Ronaldo once again embraced his role as captain and offensive reference point. While the team’s defensive errors proved costly, he demonstrated that his lethal instinct in front of the goal remains intact, regardless of the match’s circumstances.

An Unrepeatable Legacy

These types of performances highlight why Cristiano remains a decisive figure in world football. He does not hide in defeat, nor does he disappear when his team suffers. When the scenario is bleak, his presence remains the primary threat to any opponent.

While his 958th goal did not change the final outcome of the match, it adds yet another chapter to a career that is entirely unrepeatable. Cristiano Ronaldo continues to compose his "musical score" through goals, responding to the critics with the same iron-clad mentality that has defined his career. The defeat is recorded in the standings, but his legendary numbers continue to grow.
