Ronaldo Scores as Al-Nassr Beat Al-Riyadh 4-0

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first Saudi Pro League goal of the 2026–27 season on Friday, 21 August 2026, as Al‑Nassr recorded a comprehensive 4–0 win over Al‑Riyadh at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh.

The result, in round 2 of the 2026–27 Roshn Saudi Pro League, was Al‑Nassr's second straight league win. The club now sits on 6 points from two matches and tops the table on goal difference ahead of Al‑Hilal.

Abdulelah Al‑Amri opened the scoring in the 18th minute, before Ângelo Gabriel doubled the lead in first‑half stoppage time (45+1). João Félix added the third in the 58th minute. Ronaldo, introduced as a substitute in the 62nd minute, needed roughly 21 minutes on the pitch to find the net, finishing with his left foot from a low cross by Ayman Yahya inside the penalty area in the 83rd minute.

The strike marked Ronaldo's 977th career goal and extended his run to 25 consecutive seasons scoring at least one league goal — a milestone that underlines his continued influence in the Saudi league.

For fans hoping to catch a live match, Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium remains an active Roshn League venue. Publicly reported ticket prices for regular league fixtures at major Riyadh stadiums this season typically range from around SAR 30–50 for standard seats up to SAR 200–400 for premium and hospitality categories, with evening kick‑offs usually around 20:00–21:00 local time. Exact prices vary by match, club and category and are set through each club's official ticketing platform.
