Cristiano Ronaldo nearly takes the net off with his 926th career goal

Ladies and gentlemen, Cristiano Ronaldo goal 926 has arrived as the 40-year-old scored in Al Nassr’s 2-2 draw vs. Al Shabab in the Saudi Pro League on Friday.

Friday’s goal was a special one in the stat book for Ronaldo because it officially means he’s scored as many goals (463) since he turned 30 as he did before he turned 30 (463). The man just doesn’t age.

Ronaldo’s goal came in first half stoppage time when he blasted the ball into the roof of the net from close range. The effort was initially ruled offside, however after a review the goal was awarded.

Ronaldo’s goal gave Al Nassr the lead, however the second half didn’t go according to plan when center back Mohammed Al-Fatil was sent off in the 52nd minute.

Al Shabab would find an equalizer and deny Ronaldo’s side the three points. Al Nassr sit fourth in the league with just one win in their previous four league games.

Ronaldo’s contract with Al Nassr is set to expire this summer as the soccer world waits to see if he’ll stay in Saudi Arabia, retire or move to a new club.
