In the 82nd minute of the match against Al Feiha, Cristiano Ronaldo ran to receive a pass from Marcelo Brozovic, used his impressive strength to finish over the goalkeeper, sealing a 1-0 victory for Al Nassr.
With this goal, CR7 has set a series of records. In addition to the milestone of 1,000 appearances in his club career, Ronaldo became the first player to score in 23 consecutive calendar years (2002 to present). Not stopping there, he also holds the record for most goals scored in history (874 goals) and most wins in history (796 matches).
Ronaldo rescued Al Nassr in the final minutes.
The 39-year-old veteran's late goal saved Al Nassr from a disappointing loss to Al Feiha. Coach Luis Castro's team were helpless against the opposition's crowded defense for most of the match and could only win thanks to CR7's superstar moment.
Ronaldo and his teammates won 1-0 right on the opponent's field, thereby holding a big advantage in the second leg on February 22. Al Nassr has never won the AFC Champions League. In the 2 semi-finals in the 2019/20 and 2020/21 seasons, the Riyadh capital team lost to Persepolis and Al Hilal respectively.
With the form and class of a player who has won the European championship five times like Ronaldo, Al Nassr boldly sets the goal of lifting the first AFC Champions League trophy in the club's history.
After the match with Al Feiha, Ronaldo will only have 3 days of rest, before entering the match with Al Fateh in the Saudi Arabian national championship. In the domestic league, Al Nassr is ranked 2nd, 7 points behind the leading team Al Hilal (46 compared to 53).
