Decade of Dominance: Cristiano Ronaldo Brace Makes It 10 in a Row for Al-Nassr

Ronaldo

In a historic night at Al-Awwal Park, Cristiano Ronaldo continued to defy age and physics, scoring a clinical brace to lead Al-Nassr to a 3-0 victory over Al-Okhdood on Saturday, December 27, 2025. This victory marks a monumental milestone for the club, as they become the first team in Saudi Pro League history to win their opening 10 matches of a season.

The win solidifies Al-Nassr’s position at the summit of the table with a perfect 30 points from 10 games, extending their lead to four points over defending champions Al-Hilal.


Match Highlights: The Ronaldo Show

Despite a resilient start from Al-Okhdood’s defense, the deadlock was broken in the 31st minute. Following a well-placed corner from Joao Felix, the ball was flicked on by Abdulelah Al-Amri, allowing Ronaldo to pounce at the far post with a sharp close-range finish.

 

Just before the halftime whistle, the Portuguese superstar doubled the lead with a moment of pure instinct. Marcelo Brozovic delivered a low, precise cross from the right flank, which Ronaldo met with an exquisite finish to put the “Knights of Najd” firmly in control.

  • Venue: Al-Awwal Park, Riyadh

Chasing the 1,000-Goal Milestone

With this brace, Ronaldo has elevated his career goal tally to an incredible 956 goals. He currently sits joint-top of the Saudi Pro League scoring charts for the 2025-26 season with 12 goals, tied with his teammate Joao Felix, who added the third goal in stoppage time after a swift counter-attack.

Ronaldo briefly thought he had secured a hat-trick in the 66th minute, but the goal was chalked off by VAR for a marginal offside in the build-up.


Breaking Records Under Jorge Jesus

The 10-match winning streak is not just a club record but a league landmark. Al-Nassr surpassed the previous record of nine straight wins held by Al-Hilal (set in 2018 under the same manager, Jorge Jesus).

The tactical shift under Jesus has been evident, with Al-Nassr dominating possession and showing defensive solidity, having conceded only five goals in the campaign so far.

What’s Next?

Al-Nassr will look to extend their “perfect ten” streak to eleven when they faces Al-Ettifaq on Tuesday, December 30. All eyes remain on the titanic clash scheduled for January 12, when Al-Nassr travels to face Al-Hilal in what many are calling a potential title-decider.
