Hat‑trick hero Ronaldo edges toward 1,000 career goals as Al‑Nassr beats Al‑Kholood (5‑3).
By netting a hat‑trick Thursday for Al‑Nassr against Al‑Kholood (5‑3), Cristiano Ronaldo is edging ever closer to the legendary 1,000‑goal mark.
The milestone looms larger. Scoring three times in Al‑Nassr’s 5‑3 victory pushed the 41‑year‑old to 984 career goals, a single step away from the famed 1,000‑goal tally.
A hat‑trick in fifteen minutes
After a disallowed early chance, the Portuguese star rebounded in the second half. First he finished João Félix’s clever pass (66′), then rose to meet a teammate’s cross for a fierce header (72′), and capped the surge with Sadio Mané’s rush (81′).

Collectively, this fourth straight Saudi Pro League win lifts Al‑Nassr into a provisional second place, level on points with leaders Al‑Qadsiah, Tijjani Reijnders’ side and Julian Quinones. Ronaldo is now just 16 goals from the 1,000‑goal mark. For my money, his chase adds extra drama to the league.
