The AFC confirms Al Nassr’s 6–2 win at Pakhtakor, with João Félix scoring twice and Ronaldo absent from the named scorers.
Our take: Our AFC Champions League Elite tracker still credits Ronaldo with one goal; his older AFC Champions League and Champions League Two records are separate. His Race to 1,000 total remains 985, with 15 still needed. AFC Champions League Elite goals →Race to 1,000 →Analysis uses records reviewed .

Al Nassr beat Pakhtakor 6–2 in Tashkent on Monday, according to the AFC’s official final report. João Félix scored twice after Abdullah Al Hamddan opened the scoring, with Abdulelah Al Amri, Abdulrahman Ghareeb and Ângelo also on target.
The completed result is a new development after the pre-match reports that Cristiano Ronaldo was being rested for the trip. The AFC names all Al Nassr’s scorers and does not credit Ronaldo with a goal.
Its published recap does not provide a complete team sheet or Ronaldo’s playing minutes. The rest explanation remains attributed to the earlier coach reports; this account does not establish a new injury diagnosis or a guaranteed return date.
The fixture has been removed from our upcoming calendar. Our individual-goal and appearance records keep their own coverage definitions, so a team result alone is not treated as an extra Ronaldo appearance.

Saudi Pro League says Matchweek 13 will be rescheduled, with replacement dates to follow after a club review.
Our take: Ronaldo needs 15 more goals in our ledger, compared with 63 for Messi. With the league calendar being revised, the Race to 1,000 simulator’s constant scoring pace should be read as a scenario rather than a fixture-based finish date.
