Julien Domingues put Al-Kholood ahead in the 16th minute. Ângelo leveled and Sadio Mané scored to make it 2–1, both from João Félix's passes, before Antoine Essomba equalized in first-half stoppage time. Félix set up Ronaldo's first two goals, Mané crossed for the third, and Domingues scored a stoppage-time penalty.
beIN Sports and Yahoo Sports put Ronaldo on 985 career goals, 15 short of 1,000. Some outlets count 984 because of a disputed goal in Al-Nassr's previous match. Ronaldo also had a first-half goal ruled out for offside, beIN reports.
