In the 82nd minute of the encounter against Al Feiha, Cristiano Ronaldo raced to grab Marcelo Brozovic’s assist, taking advantage of his excellent stretch to finish over the custodian, giving Al Nassr a 1-0 victory.
To achieve this purpose, CR7 created a series of records. In addition to reaching 1,000 games in his club career, Ronaldo became the first player to score in 23 consecutive calendar years (2002–present). Not only that, but he also has the record for the most goals scored in history (874 goals) and the most victories won in history (796 matches).
The 39-year-old’s late goal saved Al Nassr from a disastrous encounter against Al Feiha. Coach Luis Castro’s team was powerless against the opponent’s formidable defense for the majority of the game, and they only won thanks to CR7’s superstar moment.
Ronaldo and his teammates triumphed 1-0 on their opponent’s pitch, giving them a significant edge in the second leg on February 22. Al Nasser has never won the AFC Champions League. Riyadh was defeated in two semi-finals in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons by Persepolis and Al Hilal.
With the form and class of a five-time European winner like Ronaldo, Al Nassr is aiming to win the club’s first AFC Champions League trophy in history.
Ronaldo will only have three days of rest after the match with Al Feiha before competing against Al Fateh in the Saudi Arabian national championship. In the domestic tournament, Al Nassr is ranked second, 7 points behind top team Al Hilal (46 to 53).
