Al Nassr has been crowned champions of the Saudi Pro League after a decisive 4–1 victory over Damac FC on the final day of the season. The win ensured Al Nassr finished top of the standings, narrowly edging out perennial rivals Al Hilal, which ended the campaign just two points behind after pushing the champions throughout the season.
Al Nassr entered the match knowing that only a victory would guarantee the championship. The team responded with a strong attacking performance, taking control early and establishing a two-goal advantage before Damac briefly pulled one back to make the contest more competitive.
However, the decisive moment came in the second half through Cristiano Ronaldo, who delivered a match-winning display.
Ronaldo scored twice in the closing stages of the match, first converting a trademark free-kick that bent past the defensive wall and into the corner of the net, before later finishing from close range after a well-worked attacking move inside the penalty area. His goals restored and extended Al Nassr’s lead, effectively sealing both the match and the league title.
The Portuguese forward, who joined Al Nassr in 2023 after leaving Manchester United, secured his first domestic league title in Saudi Arabia, adding to league championships previously won in England, Spain, and Italy, as well as his five UEFA Champions League titles.
