The Saudi Pro League’s season review, published on 11 November, puts Cristiano Ronaldo one goal above our career total as it looks back at his hat-trick against Al Kholood. The feature gives a career figure without a match-by-match breakdown.
The league’s detailed commentary for Al Nassr’s match at Al Faisaly on 23 October still credits the disputed strike as an own goal by Andrei Girotto. The new feature does not say whether its total includes that incident, so the reason for the difference is unconfirmed.
Our ledger follows the detailed match record for Al Faisaly. Ronaldo remains on 984 eligible senior goals in our count, with 16 to reach 1,000. Readers can see the earlier credit review in our corrections log.
