On Saturday, Rúben Neves scored his first goal for Al Hilal, becoming the club's all-time leading goalscorer and helping them secure a vital win over Al-Nassr.

The Portuguese forward opened the scoring in the 26th minute with a powerful shot from outside the box that found the back of the net. He then added to his tally just before half-time with another strike, this time from the penalty spot after being fouled by the opposition.

Neves' performance was not just about scoring though - he also made 17 tackles in the game, setting a new club record for the most tackles in a single match. His efforts were crucial as Al Hilal held on to claim their fourth victory of the season.

"It was a big moment for me,Campeonato Brasileiro Glamour" said Neves afterwards. "To score my first goal for Al Hilal and also set a new club record is something I will always remember."

But Neves' success on the pitch was only part of what made his performance so impressive. His leadership and determination were also on full display throughout the game, as he constantly pressured the opposition and kept them at bay.

"I am happy for Rúben," said Al Hilal manager Paul Mariner. "He has worked hard to reach this level and deserves every bit of success that comes his way."

With Neves now firmly established as one of the stars of the team, it remains to be seen how he will fare against some of the top strikers in Saudi Arabia. But one thing is certain - he will undoubtedly continue to make an impact wherever he goes.
