The moment is near... Cristiano Ronaldo nets his 960th goal, watch 📹 | OneFootball

Cristiano Ronaldo has shortened his race towards his thousandth goal once again.

He scored for the 960th time in his career this Wednesday (21), during Al-Nassr's 2-1 victory over Damac in the 16th round of the Saudi Pro League.

Coolness and CR7 all over them

The one who opened the scoring for Jorge Jesus' team was Ghareeb, showing a lot of "nervousness" just five minutes in. 

CR7 extended the lead in the second half after a pass from João Félix (50'). 

The hosts only scored with Harkass (68'). 

CR7 even found the net again, but he was offside.

With 16 goals, he is currently the top scorer of the Saudi League.

Standings situations📊

Al-Nassr has reached 37 points. That's four less than leaders Al-Hilal, who will host Al-Fayha (13th) this Thursday (22). 

Damac, meanwhile, remains at 11. They are 15th.

When will the thousandth come?

There are "only" 40 goals left for CR7 to reach the long-awaited thousandth goal of his career.

And he has 20 guaranteed games with Al-Nassr until the end of this season.

18 of them are in the Saudi League and two in the Round of 16 of the Asian Champions League Second Division against Arkadag, from Turkmenistan.

Al-Nassr could reach the final of the tournament by playing five more matches.

And CR7 will still have at least two matches with the Portugal national team: friendlies against Mexico and the United States during the March FIFA window. 

This would guarantee a total of up to 27 matches before the World Cup.
