So far, the record for the highest goals scored in a season in the Saudi Pro League was held by Moroccan Abderrazzak Hamdallah. It was not impossible to break the record of goals scored by Cristiano Ronaldo this season. The Portuguese star broke that record in the last match of Al Nasr’s season. He is now the highest scorer in the Saudi Pro League in one season (35). Previously, the league’s highest number of goals in a season was 34.
Ronaldo wrote his name in the record books with a brace in the day’s 4-2 defeat of Al Ittihad at home. The 39-year-old wrote on social media, ‘I don’t follow records. The record follows me.’
The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star scored in stoppage time of the first half and a header in the 69th minute of the second half. But his previous two goals were disallowed for offside. At the time of the first goal, Mohammad Al Fatil’s long pass was brought down with his chest and shook the net with a low shot. After that, the Portuguese prince went wild with a header from Marcelo Brzovic’s corner. After five minutes, however, he had to be transferred and leave the field.
It can be said that Ronaldo has colored this season in his own way. He scored four hat-tricks. There was a red card incident. He also received a ban in February for indecent behavior towards an Al Shabaab fan. However, even though he managed to match himself with personal success, Al Nasr’s season full of stars was spent in disappointment. Runners-up Al Nasr finished the league 14 points adrift of champions Al Hilal. Al Hilal were very strong without the injured Neymar.
