Cristiano Ronaldo Reaches 20-Goal Landmark In Saudi Pro League As Al Nassr Win At Al-Wehda
Cristiano Ronaldo has now been directly involved in 20 goals in just 12 Saudi Pro League games this season.
Ronaldo scored his 13th SPL goal of the season on Saturday to help Al Nassr win 3-1 away at Al-Wehda.
It arrived in the 49th minute after an Al-Wehda defender had attempted to head the ball back to his goalkeeper.
Ronaldo pounced by sharply intercepting the pass and guiding a low half-volley into the net.
The 38-year-old is now three goals clear of Al-Hilal's Aleksandar Mitrovic in the race for the Saudi Pro League's Golden Boot.
As well as scoring 13 league goals this season, Ronaldo has provided seven assists.
No player has assisted more SPL goals than Ronaldo this season.
Al-Ahli's Riyad Mahrez and Al Fateh's Mourad Batna have also recorded seven assists each.
