CR7 ends goal drought with 962nd career strike as Al-Nassr win 📹 | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo's protest against the decisions of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has ended.

After missing three matches for Al-Nassr, the number 7 returned to play this Saturday (14).

And he left his mark against Al-Fateh in the 21st round of the Saudi Pro League.

It was the 962nd goal of his career.

Jorge Jesus's team won 2-0, reclaiming second place in the Saudi League.

It was the eighth consecutive victory of the season.

That was easy, Cris!

Goal 962 came just 18 minutes in after a play by Sadio Mané.

The home team didn't just wait for possible openings.

They tried, but couldn't get past Bento.

Without being brilliant, Al-Nassr just did the "basics" to win.

And they calmed down at 35 minutes of the final stage when Coman's cross found Ayman.
