Ronaldo's Free Kick Goal Sparks Viral Moment Ahead of Al-Nassr vs Al Akhdoud Clash Saturday, April 11, 2026, marked the 28th Saudi Pro League match between Al-Nassr and Al Akhdoud at the Prince Hathloul bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Najran, Saudi Arabia. The game, scheduled for 09:00 PM local time (11:30 PM Indian Standard Time), carried significant weight for both teams and their players, particularly Cristiano Ronaldo, who had already made a name for himself in the league. Ronaldo’s performance in the previous match against Al Najma on April 3, 2026, where he scored a brace, had already positioned him as a key figure in Al-Nassr’s campaign. However, the upcoming clash against Al Akhdoud held added importance. A victory for Al-Nassr would not only extend their winning streak to 14 consecutive matches since January 17, 2026, but also solidify their position at the top of the Saudi Pro League table. The rivalry between Al-Nassr and Al Akhdoud was further highlighted by their previous encounter on December 27, 2025, when Al-Nassr secured a decisive win, marking their 10th consecutive victory in the league—a record in Saudi Pro League history. This context underscored the stakes of the current match, as Al-Nassr aimed to maintain their dominance. The game also carried implications for Ronaldo’s personal achievements. With 23 goals in the league, he currently ranked third in the top scorers’ race, trailing joint leaders van Toney and Julián Andrés Quiñones, who each had 26 goals. A strong performance against Al Akhdoud could help Ronaldo close the gap and reassert himself as the league’s leading scorer. The significance of the match extended beyond Al-Nassr’s ambitions.#saudi_pro_league #cristiano_ronaldo #al_nassr #al_akhdoud #prince_hathloul_bin_abdulaziz_sports_city_stadium
Cristiano Ronaldo Extends Dominance in Saudi Roshen League with 98th Goal April 11, 2026, 14:30-04:00 Al Akhdoud vs Al Nassr FC The Portuguese star keeps on scoring. Cristiano Ronaldo, the captain of Al-Nassr FC, continued his remarkable goal-scoring streak in the Saudi Roshen League, reaffirming his position as one of the competition’s most formidable performers despite his advancing years. His latest contribution came during Saturday’s 28th-round match against Al-Akhdoud, a display that once again drew widespread media and public attention whenever he took to the pitch. The 38-year-old forward opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a clinical finish, slotting the ball into the bottom-left corner after receiving a perfectly weighted through ball that left him unchallenged by the goalkeeper. The goal not only highlighted his technical precision but also underscored his ability to capitalize on opportunities in high-pressure moments. This strike marked Ronaldo’s 98th goal in 101 appearances for the Saudi Roshen League, bringing him tantalizingly close to the record held by Abdelrazak Hamdallah, a former Al-Ittihad star. A brace in this match would have secured Ronaldo’s place as the fastest player to reach 100 goals in the competition, matching Hamdallah’s milestone. Ronaldo’s performance also bolstered his season tally, which now stands at 24 goals. This places him third in the Roshen League’s scoring chart, trailing only Al-Qadisiyah’s Mexican forward Julian Quionnes (26 goals) and Al-Ahli Jeddah’s Englishman Ivan Toney (27 goals). His consistency has been a key factor in Al-Nassr’s strong campaign, with the club currently positioned as one of the league’s top contenders.#cristiano_ronaldo #al_nassr_fc #al_akhdoud #saudi_roshen_league #abdelrazak_hamdallah
Al Nassr Set for Crucial Saudi Pro League Clash Against Al Akhdoud Al Nassr will face Al Akhdoud in a Saudi Pro League match on April 11, 2026, as the top-tier team continues its pursuit of the league title. The visiting side, Al Akhdoud, ranks 13th in the standings with 28 points after 27 matches, while Al Nassr leads the table with 70 points, maintaining its position as the league’s dominant force. Al Nassr’s 13-game winning streak in the Saudi Pro League underscores its dominance, with the team showing no signs of slowing down. The upcoming encounter will test Al Nassr’s consistency as it aims to extend its winning run and solidify its position at the top of the table. The last match for Al Nassr was a commanding 5-2 home victory over Al Najma, where the team showcased its attacking prowess. Goals came from Abdullah Al Hamdan, Sadio Mane, who scored twice, and Cristiano Ronaldo, who also netted twice. This win marked Ronaldo’s return to action after a hamstring injury sustained during a February 28, 2026, match against Al Fayha. The Portuguese star’s presence has been a key factor in Al Nassr’s success, with his clinical finishing and leadership on the field making him a vital asset for the team. Al Akhdoud, meanwhile, has struggled to find consistency this season, with a record of four wins, four draws, and 19 losses. Their most recent performance came in a 1-0 home win over Al Fateh FC, where Abdulaziz Saleh Al Hatila scored the decisive goal. Despite their low standing, Al Akhdoud’s ability to secure points in key matches suggests they remain a competitive opponent, particularly in a high-stakes encounter against a team like Al Nassr. The official lineups for both teams highlight the depth of talent on display.#saudi_pro_league #cristiano_ronaldo #al_nassr #al_akhdoud #sadio_mane
Al-Nassr Set to Welcome Back Three Key Players for Al-Akhdoud Clash, Iñigo Martínez Out Al-Nassr are preparing to field three players who missed their recent match against Al-Najma for Saturday’s Roshen League fixture against Al-Akhdoud. The team’s squad for the 28th round of the league will include Kingsley Coman, João Félix, and Ayman Yahya, who are expected to start after being sidelined for the previous game. Iñigo Martínez, however, remains absent due to a separate muscle injury requiring individual rehabilitation. Kingsley Coman, who had been sidelined since the 5-2 victory over Al-Najma in Round 27, has returned to first-team training following a muscle issue. His inclusion is significant, as he is set to replace Abdulrahman Gharib in the starting lineup. Coman’s return comes after a period of recovery, and his presence is anticipated to bolster Al-Nassr’s attacking options ahead of the trip to Prince Hathloul bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Najran. João Félix and Ayman Yahya, both of whom missed the Round 27 match due to suspension, are also expected to be available for selection. Félix will likely take the place of Abdullah Al-Hamdan, while Yahya is set to replace Saad Al-Nasser in the lineup. The inclusion of these players marks a positive development for Al-Nassr, as they aim to maintain their dominance in the league. Iñigo Martínez, who sat out Thursday’s training session, continues his rehabilitation program for a muscle-related injury. His absence is a setback for the team, as he has been a key defensive presence. However, the coaching staff has expressed confidence in his recovery timeline and his eventual return to full fitness. Al-Nassr currently lead the league table with 70 points, maintaining a two-point advantage over Al-Hilal and a four-point lead over Al-Ahli.#al_nassr #al_akhdoud #kingsley_coman #joao_felix #ayman_yahya
Al-Akhdoud on the Brink of Historic Double as Al-Nassr Seek Milestones in Saudi Pro League Clash Al-Nassr FC faces a pivotal encounter against Al-Akhdoud in the 28th round of the Saudi Pro League at Prince Hazloul bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Najran. A victory for the reigning champions would mark a historic milestone, propelling them toward two unprecedented achievements in their club’s Roshen era. The Greens, currently leading the league table with 70 points, are poised to secure their 14th consecutive league victory—a feat that would surpass their previous 13-match winning streak from the 2013–2014 campaign. That historic run ultimately culminated in the Saudi League title, as Al-Nassr finished two points ahead of runners-up Al-Hilal. The match carries additional significance for Al-Nassr, as a win would also extend their record for consecutive away victories in the competition. The club has previously achieved eight straight away triumphs in separate campaigns, and a victory in Najran would match that mark. This would further solidify their dominance in the league, particularly given their current position. Al-Nassr’s lead over second-place Al-Hilal is two points, while they trail Al-Ahli by four points, despite having played one fewer game than their rivals. The stakes are high for Al-Akhdoud as well. A loss would leave them in a precarious position, as they need just two points from this match to secure a historic double. The Greens, however, are under pressure to deliver a result that could shift the league’s dynamics. Al-Nassr’s ability to maintain their winning streak and extend their away record would not only reinforce their title credentials but also set a new standard for consistency in the Saudi Pro League.#saudi_pro_league #al_nassr_fc #al_akhdoud #prince_hazloul_bin_abdulaziz_sports_city_stadium #najran
