Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 20th goal of the season when Al-Nassr already defeated Fateh on Sunday.
With Al-Nassr who led their opponents in the final phase in the Al-Awwal Park, Ronaldo came to the end of a driven cross of the former Liverpool star Sadio Mane to seal the victory in front of his side.
The strike marked the 920th goal of Ronaldo's distinguished career, more than two decades after he had delivered his first for Boyhood Club Sporting Lisbon and only a few days before his 40th birthday.
The five-time balloon d'Or winner seemed to have added another goal to his count in the final phase with an incredible solo effort.
After receiving the ball on the edge of the penalty box, Ronaldo shone past a defender before getting his strike past the goalkeeper.
The stunning effort was eventually excluded by VAR, with an incredible Ronaldo who was later seen that he said against a pitchside TV camera: “Always Anton to me, always cancel my goals.”
Ronaldo was seen embracing with old friend Piers Morgan after the game, where the experienced journalist later wrote on social media that the Portuguese were 'robbed'.
He wrote: 'Breaking: Ronaldo robbed tonight of a brilliant' offside 'goal – but at least he received a comfort cuddle from me. Great to see you again '
Although he had abolished his second strike, Ronaldo's goal on Sunday took his count for the season until 14 in the Saudi Pro League and 20 in all competitions.
Ronaldo is also top of the score cards of the competition, two goals for the former teammate of Real Madrid Karim Benzema in second place.
Despite the impressive form of their captain, Al-Nassr, however, remains eight points behind the League leaders Al-Hilal in the title race that played another game.
