Ronaldo record vs Al Fateh
Substituted during second-half added time, Ronaldo has now scored in his last five appearances against Al-Fateh, including a hat-trick in 2023 as part of a total of nine goals in seven games against them.
The 41-year-old also netted his 18th goal of the season in the Saudi Pro League, putting him joint-second in the top-scorer standings.
The two-time golden boot winner in the division is level with Al-Qadsiah’s Julian Quinones and two goals behind former England striker Ivan Toney, of Al-Ahli.

Al Fateh starting team vs Al Nassr
Mourad Batna has scored four goals this season and the Al-Fateh winger returned for the first time since sustaining an injury in their 1–1 draw at home to Al Hazem on February 1.
Wesley Delgado, 21, was given a chance to shine. Striker Fahad Al-Zubaidi is on loan from Al-Nassr and was on the bench.
Al-Fateh also have a Portuguese leader in Jose Gomes, whose side suffered a 9-0 defeat in his second match in charge to Jesus’s Al-Hilal in 2024.
While that remains the heaviest defeat of Gomes’ managerial career, Al-Fateh entered this game with a respectable record this season of six wins and eight defeats from 20 league matches, including a 2-1 victory over Al-Hilal in November.
They are now winless in seven matches but had drawn their most recent at fourth-placed Al-Qadsiah on February 7, when winger Vargas scored his sixth league goal of the campaign to take his tally to eight overall.
Victory would have lifted Al-Fateh above Al-Khaleej to ninth.
