Cristiano Ronaldo continues to show that his goal-scoring instinct knows no limits. In the first leg of the quarter-finals of the AFC Champions League (often called the "Asian Concachampions"), the Portuguese star scored the third goal for Al-Nassr against Yokohama Marinos, capitalising on a rebound inside the box, and brought his team closer to the semi-finals.
The match is still in the first half, but Al-Nassr have already shown clear dominance on the scoreboard. Ronaldo, always alert and clinical, pounced on a loose ball to extend the lead and put the Saudi club firmly on track for a vital qualification.
This latest strike adds to Cristiano's endless list of crucial goals, now achieved across yet another continent. Since arriving in Saudi Arabia, the Portuguese icon has continued to be decisive, keeping Al-Nassr's dream of conquering Asia very much alive.
Despite the promising result so far, Al-Nassr know that there is no room for complacency, with the second leg still to come. However, with Ronaldo in top form and the team responding at key moments, confidence is certainly growing.
The Portuguese legend has proven that his ambition knows no boundaries or age. Every ball that falls near the opponent's area is a threat when he is on the pitch, as was once again evident against Yokohama.
Al-Nassr edge closer to the semi-finals in Asia With Cristiano Ronaldo leading the charge, Al-Nassr are emerging as serious contenders for the continental crown. The objective is within reach, but there is still ninety minutes left to secure it.
