Al Nassr had taken an early lead but briefly faced a setback after Damac pulled one goal back. However, Ronaldo restored momentum with his 63rd-minute free-kick that found the bottom corner. He later added a second goal inside the final minutes to seal the result.

The title marks Ronaldo’s first major domestic trophy since his move to Saudi Arabia in 2023. It also adds to his decorated career that includes league titles in England, Spain, and Italy, along with multiple Champions League triumphs. The victory was emotional as he watched the closing moments from the bench.
