superstar played 90 minutes, before getting subbed off in added time, during his side&#8217;s 2-0 win over Persepolis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Despite not getting on the scoresheet on the night, the 38-year-old did still manage to break an impressive record, once again.<\/p>\n<p>By securing victory with the Saudi giants, Ronaldo recorded his 1000 game unbeaten (wins and draws) throughout his club and international career.<\/p>\n<p>During those matches,\u00a0Ronaldo&#8217;s team have won 776 and drawn 224 &#8211; an impressive stat to say the least.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"

Tehran&#8217;s empty Azadi Stadium on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n<p>Victory came after the hosts had Milad Sarlak sent off seven minutes into the second half, when the Iranian stepped on Ronaldo&#8217;s foot during a midfield tussle.<\/p>\n<p>Ten minutes later the former Real Madrid striker released Marcelo Brozovic into the penalty area to unlock the stubborn hosts, with Abdulrahman Ghareeb scoring the opener through a deflected strike from the Croatian&#8217;s cutback.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammed Qassem doubled Al-Nassr&#8217;s lead in the 72nd minute as he lashed a shot into the roof of Alireza Beiranvand&#8217;s net from a tight angle on the left to seal the win.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It was a good game, even though the first half was a little bit difficult for both teams,&#8217; said Al-Nassr forward Sadio Mane.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We played good in the second half, we created some chances and we scored two goals and I think we deserved to win tonight.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The game was played in an empty Azadi Stadium as a ban imposed on Persepolis by the Asian Football Confederation two years ago was enforced, depriving thousands of fans who have followed Ronaldo since his arrival in Tehran from attending.<\/p>\n<p>Al-Nassr&#8217;s win puts them on top of their group, two points ahead of Hernan Crespo-coached Al-Duhail after the Qatari club were held to a 0-0 draw by Tajikistan&#8217;s FC Istiklol in Dushanbe.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\"
