The Portuguese scored the fourth goal in Al-Nassr’s 4-1 victory over Al-Fateh in Saudi Arabia, reaching his 949th career goal. Shortly before, he had missed a penalty.

CR7 once again proved his enduring quality. Minutes after missing a penalty in Al-Nassr’s 4-1 win over Al-Fateh, the Portuguese star scored from outside the box to notch his 949th goal, bringing him closer to the milestone of 1,000 official goals and extending his record. Far from dwelling on frustration, he reacted as he has throughout his career: with class.

The striker had the chance to put his team ahead from the penalty spot, but the goalkeeper guessed the direction of the shot and made a great save to deny him. However, his redemption came quickly. From the edge of the box, the former Real Madrid icon controlled the ball, cut inside, and unleashed a powerful right-footed shot that found the top corner.

The celebration was immediate. In the stadium, the fans rose to applaud an action that recalled the Portuguese star’s best days: power, precision, and an unmistakable strike. It was his way of responding to adversity, reaffirming his legendary status.

The 40-year-old idol reached his 949th goal in official competitions, leaving him just 51 away from 1,000 goals. A number that seems inevitable for a footballer who continues to defy time and maintain his ever-present ambition.
