Cristiano Ronaldo put his name on the scoresheet as Al Nassr dispatched Al Okhdood 2-0 on Saturday, extending their domestic winning run to a club-record 14 games. The victory solidifies their grip at the summit of the Saudi Pro League table, building a five-point buffer over second-place Al Hilal with only six fixtures left to play this season.

Portugal’s talisman opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a low drive, marking his 24th league goal in as many appearances this term. João Félix added the second shortly after the interval, converting a rebound following a shot that hit the woodwork. This dominant run sets up a serious push for their first league triumph since 2019.

Since Ronaldo’s arrival in December 2022, the club has chased a major trophy, making this potential title win particularly significant for the organization and its fanbase. Al Nassr faces Al Ettifaq next on Wednesday, looking to maintain their flawless streak as the campaign nears its conclusion.

Securing these maximum points keeps the pressure firmly on Al Hilal, who must now respond to maintain proximity in the title race. Al Nassr now controls their destiny in the pursuit of ending their trophy drought.
