Ronaldo pounced in the 50th minute. Following up a shot from team-mate Mohamed Simakan, he turned the ball home with a clever touch, exploiting the chaos in Al-Taawoun's defence and deceiving the goalkeeper of "Al-Sukkari" to hand Al-Nassr a fresh advantage.

The strike carried historic weight. It took the Portuguese to 104 goals for Al-Nassr in the Pro League, moving him clear at the summit of the club's all-time scorers list and past Mohammed Al-Sahlawi, who managed 103.
Football statistics network "Opta" lay bare the scale of the feat. Ronaldo needed just 110 matches to reach 104 goals. Al-Sahlawi took 205 matches to score his 103, a gap of a full 95 games in the Portuguese star's favour.
That difference underlines a remarkable scoring rate: 0.95 goals per match during his time with Al-Nassr in the Pro League, against 0.50 per match for Al-Sahlawi.
So the records keep tumbling in the Al-Nassr shirt. In a short space of time, Ronaldo has made himself the club's all-time top scorer in the Pro League, a mark of his prolific finishing and his instant impact since arriving in the Roshn League.
