Cristiano Ronaldo has once again closed the gap to his thousandth goal, reaching 933 in his career.
This Saturday (12), the Portuguese star scored twice in Al-Nassr's comeback victory of 2-1 against Al-Riyadh in the Saudi Pro League.
The result leaves the team eight points behind the leader Al-Ittihad, with seven rounds remaining in the competition.
Ronaldo's first goal in the match came with the characteristic opportunism of a top scorer.
In a set-piece play, Sadio Mané set up the ball in the middle of the small area, and the Portuguese was there, ready to just push it into the net.
The goal that turned the game around, on the other hand, was a stunning strike that required all of CR7's quality in finishing.
Sané made a play down the left wing, attempted a cross, and the Al-Riyadh defense cleared the ball from there.
It fell at the edge of the penalty area, and Cristiano Ronaldo was there, ready to strike it first-time and send a rocket before the ball hit the ground.
The shot even hit the crossbar before finding the back of the net, adding an extra touch of style to the spectacular goal.
