Al-Nassr reached a historic milestone in the Saudi Pro League on Saturday when they defeated Al-Akhdoud 2-0 at the Prince Hathloul bin Abdulaziz Sports City Stadium in Najran. The result extended their winning run to 14 consecutive league matches, surpassing the previous club record of 13 set during the 2013–2014 season — a campaign that ended with the Riyadh side lifting the Saudi championship. The Saudi Pro League confirmed the record on its official website, marking a moment that will long be remembered in the Kingdom’s football history.
Ronaldo and Joao Felix Deliver Again
Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a composed close-range finish, assisted by teammate Nawaf Al-Boushail. The goal brought his league tally for the 2025–26 season to 24, moving him to within three of Al-Ahli’s top scorer Ivan Toney. Ronaldo was named Man of the Match and moved his career goal count to 968 across all competitions — inching steadily toward the personal milestone of 1,000 he has spoken of throughout the season.
Fellow Portuguese international Joao Felix doubled the lead two minutes into the second half, capitalising on a rebound after Kingsley Coman’s header struck the post. Felix, who has now scored 16 times in 27 league appearances this season, has developed into one of the key figures driving Al-Nassr’s remarkable title charge.
Five Points Clear with Six Games to Go
Following the result, Al-Nassr leads the Saudi Pro League standings with 73 points from 28 matches — recording 24 wins against just three defeats and a single draw, scoring 78 goals and conceding only 21. Second-placed Al Hilal trail by five points, while Al Ahli occupy third. With six rounds remaining, the title is firmly within Al-Nassr’s grasp.
The record-extending run is even more impressive given the context. Al-Nassr dropped points in three consecutive fixtures in mid-season, and questions were raised about whether the squad could sustain the intensity required. Since January 17, however, they have answered emphatically — 14 straight league wins without a single slip, each result tightening the screws on the chasing pack.
The Road Ahead
Al-Nassr’s next fixture is against Al-Ettifaq on Wednesday, April 15. With the record secured and momentum firmly on their side, the Riyadh club now stand on the verge of delivering what would be one of the most dominant title campaigns in the history of Saudi football.
