The milestone was reached in the 72nd minute when 27-year-old forward Abdullah Al-Hamdan struck the equalising goal. This result officially eclipsed the previous world record of 93 consecutive games, a mark that had been held by Argentine giants River Plate since the period between 1936 and 1939.
A Historic Run Under Ronaldo's Leadership
The record-breaking streak began in December 2023, immediately following a 3-0 defeat to Al-Hilal. Al-Nassr responded to that setback with a 4-1 victory over Al-Riyadh, a result that served as the catalyst for this unprecedented run of consistency. Throughout this period,
Ronaldo, who joined the club in 2023, has maintained a prolific output during his time in Saudi Arabia. In his 113 appearances for the team in the Saudi Pro League, the Portuguese icon has registered 105 goals. His involvement in such streaks is well-documented, as he was also a key component of the Real Madrid squad that scored in 73 consecutive matches across all competitions between 2016 and 2017.
League Standings and Future Milestones
Despite the significance of the achievement, the mood was tempered by the result against Al-Khaleej, a side currently positioned just above the relegation zone. The draw leaves Al-Nassr in third place in the Saudi Pro League standings, trailing Al-Hilal by two points and Al-Ittihad by one point.
As the 2026-27 season progresses, attention remains on the 41-year-old captain, who has suggested this could be his final campaign in professional football. Ronaldo is currently pursuing the milestone of 1,000 official senior career goals, with his current tally standing at 979.
