Cristiano Ronaldo is already 38 years old, however, that does not prevent him from still being one of the best players in the world. Now, Al Nassr is playing one of the most important games of the season, since it is the second game of the Asian Champions League, against Istiklol, a team from Tajikistan.

The match was supposed to be easier for Al Nassr, however, Cristiano Ronaldo's men started losing the match in the 44th minute. Al Nassr is obliged to win, as they cannot afford to be eliminated in the group stage. Given this, Al Nassr managed to tie the game in the second half with a great goal from Cristiano Ronaldo. From there, Talisca came back with a double in just 5 minutes.

Al Nassr now has two wins in two games in the Asian Champions League, and is emerging as one of the main favorites to win the tournament, along with Al Ittihad and Al Hilal. Furthermore, one of Cristiano Ronaldo's goals was to finish as the tournament's top scorer, and after not scoring in the first match, he now began his scoring quota today.

Al Nassr's next match will be in the Saudi Pro League, against Abha. Al Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo are in a great moment, and they are also considered one of the main favorites to win the season, however, they are not in first place. Al Hilal, Al Ittihad and Al Taawoun are ahead of Al Nassr in the overall standings. If they manage to win against Abha, they can get closer to first place, depending on the results.

What's next Al Nassr's match in the AFC Champions League?

Al Nassr's next match in the Asian Champions League will be until October 24, against Al Duhail. If they win the match, they could practically have qualification guaranteed, since they would have already won 3 of the first 6 matches.
