Al Nassr Sets New World Record for Consecutive Scoring Matches

Al Nassr has officially etched its name into football history, becoming the first team to score in 94 consecutive top-flight league matches. The milestone, achieved this past Saturday, surpasses a world record that had remained untouched for 87 years.

The historic achievement was secured in dramatic fashion during a 1-1 draw against Al Khaleej. With the team trailing, substitute Abdullah Al-Hamdan stepped up to deliver a powerful long-range strike, ensuring the club extended its remarkable scoring streak. By finding the back of the net, Al Nassr moved past the previous record of 93 consecutive league matches, which was established by the Argentine club Club Atlético River Plate between September 1936 and June 1939.

For Cristiano Ronaldo, who is entering what he has indicated will likely be his final professional season, the milestone adds another layer to a decorated career. The 41-year-old forward, who recently helped the club secure the Saudi Pro League title in May 2026, has continued to demonstrate his clinical finishing. After returning from his wedding to Georgina Rodriguez and missing the season opener, Ronaldo made an immediate impact by scoring his 977th career goal on August 21. He has already registered three goals in his opening appearances of the 2026-27 campaign.

This upcoming tournament follows a notable run in the AFC Champions League Two last season, where the team reached the final after a perfect 10-match winning streak, ultimately falling 1-0 to Gamba Osaka. As they look to defend their domestic title in the 2026-27 season, the squad remains focused on maintaining their momentum both at home and on the international stage.
