Ronaldo sets scoring record in Saudi Pro League

Hamdallah, who was also playing for Al-Nassr at the time, but is now with Al-Ittihad, could at least take some comfort from the fact that his haul came in just 27 league games, four fewer than the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star's. 

Ronaldo, who had seen a 10th-minute effort ruled out for offside, equalled the record in first-half stoppage time when he controlled Mohammed Al-Fatil's long ball and fired home to open the scoring in his club's final fixture of the campaign. 

The Portugal international was through on goal once again 20 minutes after the restart but was brought down by Suwailem Al-Menhali, who was sent off. 

However, he had to wait just four minutes longer to claim his 35th of the season when he headed home from a corner before he was substituted. 

Abdulrahman Ghareeb's penalty and Meshari Al-Nemer's strike either side of goals from Farhah Al-Shamrani and Fabinho for the visitors ultimately saw Al-Nassr prevail 4-2 to finish second, 14 points behind champions Al-Hilal but 17 clear of Al-Ahli in third.
