Why is Al-Nassr vs Al-Hazem not going ahead today? Cristiano Ronaldo waits longer for goal No. 1,000
Mint · Aachal Maniyar ·
Cristiano Ronaldo moved to 985 goals with a hat-trick in Al-Nassr’s 5-3 win over Al-Kholood on October 29. That treble left him 15 short of the milestone that no player has reached in official senior matches.
Cristiano Ronaldo will not take the field on Friday, November 6, a day after he confirmed his retirement from the Portugal national team. Al-Nassr’s scheduled trip to face Al-Hazem in the Saudi Pro League has been postponed, along with every other fixture in Matchweek 13.
The game at Al-Hazem Club Stadium in Ar Rass was part of a full round that the league wiped from the calendar earlier in the week. For Ronaldo, who sits on 985 career goals, the delay means a short pause in his push toward the landmark 1,000.
On Tuesday, November 3, the Saudi Pro League (SPL) announced that the entire Matchweek 13 of the Roshn Saudi League would be rescheduled. The move came on the same day the Asian Football Confederation postponed the 2027 Asian Cup, which Saudi Arabia is set to host.
