Cristiano Ronaldo's protest against the decisions of the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has ended.
After missing three matches for Al-Nassr, the number 7 returned to play this Saturday (14).
And he left his mark against Al-Fateh in the 21st round of the Saudi Pro League.
It was the 962nd goal of his career.
Jorge Jesus's team won 2-0, reclaiming second place in the Saudi League.
It was the eighth consecutive victory of the season.
That was easy, Cris!
Goal 962 came just 18 minutes in after a play by Sadio Mané.
The home team didn't just wait for possible openings.
They tried, but couldn't get past Bento.
Without being brilliant, Al-Nassr just did the "basics" to win.
And they calmed down at 35 minutes of the final stage when Coman's cross found Ayman.
