Cristiano Ronaldo fires Al Nassr to Arab Club Champions Cup final

Cristiano Ronaldo’s 75th-minute penalty helped Al Nassr beat Al-Shorta 1-0 to qualify for the Arab Club Champions Cup final for the first time. Ronaldo’s influence helped Al Nassr to create history.

Al Nassr advanced to the last four for the first time in thirty years. However, both teams were unable to break the deadlock, but Al-Nassr ultimately managed to break the deadlock through their captain, Ronaldo.

Ronaldo saves Al Nassr after scoring a decisive penalty

The Portuguese striker took a skilful touch, and threaded the ball through the legs of the advancing Al Shorta goalkeeper. But, this moment of happiness was short-lived, as the goal was disallowed after a VAR review for offside.

However, despite VAR ruling out his goal, Ronaldo was determined to score. He came close to scoring after a beautiful flick from Sadio Mane to set him up, only for his shot to miss the target narrowly. The score remained 0-0 after half-time.

Even after missing some chances to score the goal, it was Al Nassr’s star striker Cristiano Ronaldo who broke the deadlock in the 75th minute. The 38-year-old successfully converted a penalty kick after a VAR review found that Faisal Jasim Nafil Al Manaa had fouled Sadio Mane.
