Al Nassr lose to Al Ahli in Saudi Super Cup final on penalties despite Ronaldo's 100th goal for club

Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player to score 100 competitive goals for four different clubs, but Al Nassr lost to Al Ahli 5-3 in a penalty shootout after the Saudi Super Cup final ended 2-2 in regulation time in China's Hong Kong SAR (Special Administrative Region) on Saturday.

The first-half strike took the 40-year-old forward to his century for the Saudi Arabian side, which he joined in December 2022.

The effort adds to his 450 goals for Real Madrid, 145 for Manchester United, and 101 for Juventus, while also moving Ronaldo ahead of the three players who scored 100 times for three clubs: Isidro Langara, who played in Spain from 1930 to 1948, as well as Brazilian stars Romario and Neymar.

Ronaldo, who has yet to win a major trophy in Saudi Arabia, is also the leading international scorer for Portugal with 138 goals.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner put Al Nassr ahead after 41 minutes with a penalty, but Franck Kessie quickly equalized for Al Ahli.

With seven minutes remaining, Marcelo Brozovic restored Al Nassr's lead. But there was still time for Brazilian defender Roger Ibanez to head home a corner and send the game into a penalty shootout.

Ivan Toney, Kessie, Riyad Mahrez, Firas Al Birakan and Galeno all made their shots from the spot for Al Ahli. Ronaldo, Brozovic and Joao Felix scored for Al Nassr, but Abdullah Al-Khaibari saw his attempt saved by goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, and Al Ahli lifted the first trophy of the Saudi Arabian season.
