Following his goal in Al-Nassr’s 2-1 Saudi Pro League victory against Al-Fateh, Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed Lionel Messi in non-penalty goals for both club and country on Saturday.
In just 17 minutes against Al-Fateh, the Portugal captain, who scored the game-winning goal in the first leg of the AFC Champions League Round of 16 at Al-Feiha midweek, took the lead.
After 12 minutes, Salem Al Najdi gave Al-Fateh its parity back. But Otavio’s game-winning goal in the 72nd minute gave the home team all three points.
Due to the outcome, Al-Nassr now trails leaders Al-Hilal by four points with a game remaining. According to Sport Bible, Ronaldo’s most recent goal was his 715th non-penalty goal for both club and nation.
