In the match between Al Taawon vs Al Nassr in round 19 of the 2023/24 Saudi Arabia National Championship last night, Ronaldo had a struggling start. His team received a penalty in the 13th minute and during this phase, Ronaldo also received a yellow card for reacting.
Al Taawon leads 1-0 from here. But Al Nassr only needed 14 minutes to find the equalizer. Brozovic scored for Al Nassr and Laporte continued the home team’s excitement by choosing a finishing spot in the 35th minute. Al Nassr ended the first half with a 2-1 lead.
In the second half, the game completely belonged to Al Nassr even though their opponent was only 2 places below in the rankings and had home field advantage. This time, it was Otavio’s turn to put his name on the electronic board thanks to his calm finish in the penalty area. Al Nassr led 3-1 and seemed to decide the game.

Ronaldo ends 2023 with 54 goals |
But what they need is Ronaldo ‘s goal . To help the club’s leader end 2023 with a party, the entire Al Nassr team still plays with fire and determination to find more goals. And at minute 90+2, what they needed came. Ronaldo jumped and headed dangerously, sealing a strong victory with a score of 4-1 for Al Nassr.
The recent victory helps Al Nassr continue to compete with Al Hilal at the top. They were 6 points ahead of the team ranked below Al Ahli and even further behind the rest. Meanwhile, Ronaldo ends 2023 with 54 goals, leaving behind Erling Haaland , who did not have any goals in the last month of the year due to a foot injury.
With 54 goals, Ronaldo also surpassed Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe by 2 goals, two strikers appearing in the list of the 10 best players of the year of the World Federation of Statistics and History.
At the age of 38, Ronaldo actually still shows that he is in good form. Of course, he is no longer at his peak (Ronaldo scored 69 goals in 2013), but compared to the average level in the Saudi Arabian National Championship or other top tournaments, Ronaldo’s milestone is extraordinary.
In the National Championship this season, not only does he lead in the number of goals (20), he is also number 1 in the entire tournament in the number of assists (9). Ronaldo is becoming more omnipotent, proving that age is not enough to defeat him.
