Cristiano Ronaldo’s goals have not stopped in the Asian Champions League. Al-Nasr secured the quarter-finals by defeating domestic football rival Al Faiha 2-0 in the second leg and 3-0 in the two legs.
The Portuguese star was instrumental in last week’s 1-0 first leg win. His only goal in the 9th minute sealed the win. He dominated the second leg as well.
The first goal came in the 17th minute with a shot by his compatriot winger Otavio. The former Porto player scored the goal with a header from close range. On the contrary, teammate Ronaldo seemed depressed for a while! Several penalty appeals were not taken into account by the referee. In the second half, a goal offside is canceled! Before that, he also saw a yellow card for a tough challenge in the first half. Al Nasr coach Luis Castro was also carded for protesting the decision. Finally, four minutes before the end of the match, Ronaldo’s name appeared on the scoresheet. The opposing goalkeeper, Vladimir Stokovic, came forward to clear the ball. Couldn’t though. At that time, Ronaldo, who came at a fast pace, got the opportunity and shook the net. It was Ronaldo’s 10th goal in the last 9 matches.
Ronaldo, who has won the UEFA Champions League five times, is participating in the equivalent Asian Champions League for the first time.
