Al-Nassr hit a historic milestone after a 1-1 draw against Al-Khaleej in round 7 of the Saudi Pro League 2026-2027. Although unable to win all 3 points, Cristiano Ronaldo's team still made their mark with a 94-game scoring streak in the national championship.
This record was set thanks to Abdullah Al-Hamdan's goal in the 72nd minute. Previously, Al-Khaleej took the lead in the 45+1 minute after a goal by Omar Mascarell.
Al-Nassr's scoring streak began in December 2023, with a 4-1 victory over Al-Riyadh. Since then, this team has maintained the ability to penetrate the opponent's net in 94 consecutive matches in the national championship.
During this period, Al-Nassr won 70 matches, drew 12 matches and suffered 12 defeats. The above achievement helped the Saudi Arabian team surpass the record of 93 consecutive scoring matches of River Plate set in the period 1936-1939 and Benfica from 2012 to 2015.
However, Al-Nassr's collective milestone came in a match where Ronaldo could not score. The Portuguese striker played all 90 minutes but did not make much of an impression against Al-Khaleej's defense.
After a 1-1 draw, Al-Nassr has 16 points and is ranked third in the Saudi Pro League standings. Ronaldo's team is 1 point behind Al-Ittihad and 2 points behind the leading team Al-Hilal.
Coach Ange Postecoglou believes that the tight schedule is significantly affecting the fitness of Al-Nassr players. The team has played 8 matches since the beginning of the season and has had to go through many away games in hot weather and high humidity.
Postecoglou admitted that Al-Nassr did not start well against Al-Khaleej but improved their performance in the second half. The Australian coach appreciated the efforts of his players in the context that the team had to play with high density.
After this match, Al-Nassr will continue their journey at the AFC Champions League Elite. On September 15, Ronaldo and his teammates will be guests at Al-Ain stadium in the first match of the qualifying round.
