In a decisive match at the Prince Hazloul bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Najran, Al-Nassr triumphed over Al-Akhdoud with a score of 2-0. This victory marks Al-Nassr’s 14th consecutive win in the Saudi Pro League, solidifying their position at the top of the standings with 73 points from 28 games.
Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 15th minute, followed by Joao Felix, who netted the second goal just two minutes into the second half. Ronaldo’s performance this season has been remarkable, as he has now scored 24 goals, placing him third in the Golden Boot race, just three goals shy of the league’s top-scorer, Ivan Toney.
Al-Nassr’s current form is impressive, as they are five points ahead of second-placed Al-Hilal. The team’s previous record for consecutive wins was set during the 2013-2014 season, and they are now aiming for their first official trophy since Ronaldo’s arrival in early 2023.
Referee Khalid Al-Taris officiated the match, ensuring a smooth flow of play. Looking ahead, Al-Nassr is set to face Al Ettifaq next week, which presents another opportunity to extend their winning streak.
As the season progresses, Al-Nassr’s remaining schedule includes challenging matches against top-tier teams, which will test their resilience and determination to maintain their lead in the league. Details remain unconfirmed regarding any potential injuries or tactical changes ahead of their next game.
