Cristiano Ronaldo wins first Saudi Pro League title as Al Nassr end seven-year wait

Al Nassr sealed a dramatic Saudi Pro League title on the final day of the season with a 4-1 victory over Damac, overcoming Al Hilal’s 1-0 win against Al Fayha to secure the championship and end a seven-year wait for domestic glory.

Al Nassr secured the Saudi Pro League title in dramatic fashion after a commanding 4-1 victory over Damac on the final week of the season. Despite Al Hilal SFC defeating Al Fayha FC 1-0, Al Nassr’s win ensured they lifted the trophy regardless of their rivals’ result.

Needing only a victory to clinch the championship, Al Nassr delivered a dominant performance in front of their fans. Sadio Mané opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a powerful header, giving the hosts a deserved lead before halftime.

French winger Kingsley Coman doubled the advantage in the 52nd minute with a precise low strike. Damac briefly threatened a comeback when Morlaye Sylla converted a penalty in the 58th minute to reduce the deficit.

However, the night ultimately belonged to Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar restored Al Nassr’s two-goal cushion in the 63rd minute with a superb free-kick that sliced through a crowded penalty area and found the back of the net. Ronaldo struck again in the 81st minute, sealing the victory and sparking celebrations across Riyadh.

With the win, Al Nassr finished the season on 86 points and celebrated their first league title in seven years. The triumph also marked Cristiano Ronaldo’s first Saudi Pro League championship since joining the club.
