Al-Nassr won 0-1 against Al-Fayha with a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo and put their place on track in the quarterfinals of the Asian Champions League. The match corresponds to the first leg of the round of 16 of a tie that will pit two teams from Saudi Arabia against each other.
Cristiano’s greed knows no bounds and this Wednesday he once again celebrated a goal and there are 31 this season. His victory, his first in 2024, sealed an important victory for a team that had never won the competition and faced a historic challenge: becoming the third Arab club, after Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad, to lift the trophy.
Unbalanced in the last stretch
Cristiano needs 81 minutes to break the tie on the scoreboard at the Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Riyadh. He did not waste a Marcelo Brozovic’s wall, which gave him a chipped ball which the Portuguese took advantage of, without bouncing it onto the grass, to hold goalkeeper Vladimir Stojkovic and leave his rivals with few options for the second leg. A good goal
Al-Nassr signed a fair victory. He had almost every clear-cut chance to score and achieved a very useful result for the second leg, which will be held on February 21 at his stadium, Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh.
Only Cristiano scored, though Aymeric Laporte, Anderson Talisca, Otavio and Cristiano himself They would have sealed the tie if they had been successful with the chances they missed in the 90 minutes.
