On the morning of February 15, the superstar born in 1985 scored the only goal to help Al Nassr defeat Al Feiha in the first leg of the AFC Champions League round of 16.

Ronaldo shines at the AFC Champions League.

In the 82nd minute, Al Nassr was having difficulty facing the overwhelming defense of host Al Feiha. Marcelo Brozovic had a delicate assist for Cristiano Ronaldo to approach the goal. Even though Vladimir Stojkovic was out, CR7 still managed to rise up to finish the shot over the head of the away team’s goalkeeper, sealing the minimum victory for the reigning Saudi Pro League runner-up.

The goal came to Ronaldo on his 40th touch of the ball and also his 5th shot since the beginning of the match. At the end of the first half, the former MU star also faced Stojkovic, but his shot was not dangerous enough to beat the 40-year-old goalkeeper.

Ronaldo scored his 4th goal after 6 appearances in the AFC Champions League this season, and increased his record in all competitions to 31 goals in 32 matches, an extremely impressive number for a player who has turned 39 years old. .

Ronaldo’s shining moment helped Al Nassr take advantage in the second leg on February 22. Coach Luis Castro’s team will receive support from a large home crowd.

Historically, Al Nassr has never won the AFC Champions League. In two semi-finals in 2019 and 2020, the capital Riyadh team lost to Persepolis and Al Hilal respectively.
