🎥 He's back with a bang! Cristiano Ronaldo reaches 977th career goal | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro made his debut in the 2026/2027 season this Friday (21).

And the 41-year-old No. 7 closed the gap on the 1,000th goal of his career.

He came off the bench to seal his Al-Nassr's 4-0 win over Al-Riyadh in the second round of the Saudi Pro League.

Dominance with a Brazilian goal

The first half saw an Al-Nassr side — now coached by Ange Postecoglou — in complete control on the pitch.

And with a Brazilian standing out.

Ângelo delivered a perfect corner for Al Amri to score (18').

And the forward who came through at Santos got the second himself (46').

The third came in the second half, thanks to João Félix showing his class (58').

CR7 was brought on in the 62nd minute.

He had already forced goalkeeper Borjan into action and tried an overhead kick.

Then came Ayman's pass. He spun away from his marker and set off to celebrate.

Career goal No. 977 in the 83rd minute.

Al-Nassr moved on to six points. Al-Riyadh, coached by Brazilian Mauricio Dulac, remain on zero. And bottom of the table.
