Overview
- Cristiano Ronaldo struck a brace in the 4-0 win over Al-Hazem, with Kingsley Coman and Ângelo Gabriel adding the other goals.
- Coman was a standout creator with multiple assists and a first-half finish set up by João Félix, while Ronaldo’s opener was confirmed after a VAR check.
- The result moved Al-Nassr to 55 points, placing them one ahead of Al-Hilal at the end of the 23rd round.
- Al-Hilal were held by Al-Ittihad after Malcom’s early strike was canceled out by Houssem Aouar, in a match influenced by Hassan Kadesh’s ninth-minute red card.
- Reports differ on Ronaldo’s career tally after the match, listing 963 or 964 goals, leaving him roughly 36–37 short of 1,000, as Al-Nassr notch an eighth straight league win and prepare for a postponed trip to Al-Najm midweek.
