Ronaldo brace seals Saudi Pro League title for Al Nassr in dominant final-day win

RIYADH: Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a trademark masterclass as Al Nassr stormed to the Saudi Pro League title with a commanding 4-1 win over Damac on the final day of the season, sealing their first league crown since 2019. Ronaldo struck twice in a decisive second-half burst as Jorge Jesus’ side held off rivals Al Hilal to finish two points clear at the top of the table on 86 points. The Portuguese superstar once again proved the difference in a title race that went down to the wire, delivering in key moments as Al Nassr completed a dominant campaign in front of a jubilant home crowd. Al Nassr took control in the 34th minute when Sadio Mané rose highest to meet a João Félix corner, powering a header beyond the Damac goalkeeper to break the deadlock. The lead was doubled early in the second half when Kingsley Coman danced through the defence before unleashing a fierce left-footed strike from distance into the bottom corner, sending the stadium into celebration. Damac briefly clawed their way back into the contest when Morlaye Sylla converted from the penalty spot in the 58th minute, offering a moment of hope. But Ronaldo quickly shut the door. In the 63rd minute, the Al Nassr captain curled a stunning free-kick into the net to restore the two-goal cushion, showcasing his trademark precision and composure under pressure. He then sealed the title in the 81st minute, reacting quickest inside the box to a loose clearance and smashing a powerful finish into the roof of the net to complete his brace and the victory. Al Hilal did their part with a 1-0 win over Al Fayha, but it was not enough to stop Al Nassr’s march to glory. For Ronaldo, who joined the club in late 2022, it marks his first Saudi Pro League title — and another chapter in a career defined by silverware, decisive goals, and relentless ambition.
