Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Al Nassr defeated Damac 4-1 on the final day of the season to win the Saudi Pro League title.

The result sealed Al Nassr’s first league crown since 2019 and ended a seven-year wait for domestic success, with Ronaldo finishing as the decisive figure in the closing stages.

The title race had gone down to the final day after Al Nassr dropped points against Al Hilal a week earlier with a stoppage-time equaliser.

Al Nassr had earlier taken control of the match through Sadio Mané and Kingsley Coman, who put them in a strong position before Morlaye Sylla pulled one back for Damac.

Ronaldo then took over the contest, first scoring from a tight-angle free-kick before adding a second close-range finish to secure the result and trigger celebrations among supporters.

The victory marks a significant moment in his career since joining Al Nassr in January 2023, a move that brought global attention to Saudi football.

The 41-year-old had endured near misses in domestic and continental competitions, including the AFC Champions League Two final defeat to Gamba Osaka.

Despite that, he delivered the defining contribution on the final day to secure the league title for his side.

Ronaldo has now scored 127 goals for Al Nassr in all competitions, continuing his push towards the 1,000-career-goal milestone.

His goals against Damac took him to 972 and 973 in his career tally.

The title-winning campaign also included his 100th Saudi Pro League goal earlier in the season, reinforcing his influence since arriving in the Middle East.
