Cristiano Ronaldo returned to play for Al-Nassr after a dispute during the recent Portugal national team training camp and scored his 980th career goal in a 3-0 victory over Diriyah on Friday. The win brings Al-Nassr level with league leader Al-Qadsiah, which earlier won 5-0 against Al-Kholood. Ronaldo's controversy stemmed from coach Jorge Jesus not honoring a promise to give him playing time during the Nations League tournament.
