Cristiano Ronaldo's claim for his 982nd career goal is under scrutiny by the Saudi Pro League's Compliance Committee. The incident occurred during Al-Nassr's 3-1 victory over Al-Faisaly, where Ronaldo's header, contested with defender Andrei Girotto, was initially credited as an own-goal by official data providers like Opta. Tariq Kayyal, head of the committee, is reviewing referee Abdullah Al-Owaidan's statement and other reports to make a final decision. Khalid Al-Shenaif, a former Saudi Arabia midfielder, stated that a refereeing committee had already awarded the goal to Ronaldo, with the league reportedly contacting Opta and FIFA for confirmation. Ronaldo previously scored his 981st goal in the AFC Champions League against Neftchi Fergana. He expressed a strong preference to achieve his 1,000th career goal for the Portugal national team rather than Al-Nassr. His international future is uncertain following a 30-day suspension from the Portuguese Football Federation for leaving a national team camp under coach Jorge Jesus.
