Inspired by a brace from Portuguese captain Cristiano Ronaldo, Saudi Pro Club Al Nassr has won the Arab Club Championship title.
On Saturday night, Al-Nassr became the champion by defeating another Saudi club, Al-Hilal, 2-1. Ronaldo scored both goals in Al Nassr’s victory. Al Hilal took the lead in the 51st minute of the game through Michael’s goal.
Ronaldo equalized in the 74th minute of the game with a powerful header. After the 90-minute match ended in a tie, the game went to extra time. Ronaldo scored the winner in the 108th minute with a clinical finish.
Earlier, Al Nassr was reduced to 10 players when Abdullah Al Emri received a red card in the 71st minute. However, Ronaldo and the other Al Nasr players showed remarkable resilience to overcome the numerical disadvantage and win the title.
Ronaldo was named the Man of the Match for his outstanding performance. He scored two goals, created several chances, and led his team to victory.
Al Nassr’s victory is significant for the club and Saudi Arabian football. It is the first time an Al Nasser team has won the Arab Club Championship.
