Ronaldo helped Al Nassr win spectacularly for his teammates, opening up a wide door for coach Mourinho in the Europa League

In Al Nassr's victory, for the first time in five matches, Ronaldo neither scored nor assisted, and he was even substituted early in the 76th minute. However, the 40-year-old Portuguese star was very pleased after the match as his team secured a spectacular win. He wrote on social media: "Until the very last minute!", along with photos of himself celebrating with fans and teammates.

Ronaldo congratulated striker Jhon Duran, who scored a brace to help Al Nassr secure a spectacular victory.

Al Nassr's expensive new signing, striker Jhon Duran, was the hero of the match, scoring a brace in the 32nd and 88th minutes, along with a goal from Ayman Yahya in the 80th minute, securing a crucial victory for Ronaldo's team. Prior to that, Al Nassr had been playing with ten men from the 47th minute after Mohamed Simakan received a red card.

Al Ahli continuously pressed and equalized the score at 1-1 in the 78th minute thanks to a goal from Ivan Toney. Therefore, Al Nassr coach Stefano Pioli decided to substitute Ronaldo in defense, bringing on Mohammed Al-Fatil to strengthen the counter-attacking style of play. Before making this substitution, the Italian strategist also consulted with the opposing team.

This change helped Al Nassr play more confidently and sharply, with striker Jhon Duran freely showcasing his skills and teammate Yahya scoring two crucial goals at the end of the match to give the home team a 3-1 lead. In injury time, Sumayhan Al-Nabit reduced the deficit to 2-3 for Al Ahli.

In his 76 minutes on the pitch, Ronaldo played poorly, only taking one shot which hit an opponent.

The win helped Al Nassr close the gap in points with the two leading teams, Al Ittihad and Al Hilal, to 5 and 3 points respectively in the Saudi Pro League title race, but they have played one more game.

Above all, Al Nassr continues its unbeaten run in the Saudi Pro League with 6 wins and 1 draw. This puts pressure on their rivals at the top of the table and awaits an opportunity to overtake them.

In the Europa League play-off round, Mourinho's Fenerbahce secured a resounding 3-0 victory against Anderlecht, putting one foot in the round of 16.

Meanwhile, Galatasaray suffered a shocking 1-4 defeat against AZ Alkmaar. Strong teams like Ajax beat Union Saint-Gilloise 2-0, Real Sociedad defeated Midtjylland 2-1, and Porto drew with AS Roma 1-1.
