Cristiano Ronaldo Awaits Decision on 982nd Career Goal

Cristiano Ronaldo's pursuit of his 982nd career goal is uncertain as officials from the Saudi Pro League will meet to decide whether his header in a recent match against Al-Faisaly is officially credited to him or classified as an own goal.

The incident occurred during Al-Nassr's 3-1 victory, where Ronaldo celebrated after a header that redirected Joao Felix’s cross. However, replays have raised questions about whether he made the final touch or if it was an own goal by defender Andrei Girotto.

Tariq Kayyal, head of the league’s Compliance Committee, stated that they are awaiting a report from the referee and will review all relevant information before making a ruling. While highlights suggest Ronaldo has been credited with the goal, official data currently attributes it to Girotto. The outcome of this meeting could impact Ronaldo's goal tally significantly.
