Ronaldo scores his 969th goal, Al Nᴀssr advances to the AFC Champions League Two semi-finals
Al Nᴀssr played brilliantly from the start, defeating Al Wasl 4-0 with Ronaldo’s contribution, thus convincingly securing their place in the AFC Champions League Two semi-finals.

Al Nᴀssr demonstrated superior strength by defeating Al Wasl 4-0, securing their place in the semi-finals after an explosive performance in the first 30 minutes of the match. This also marked Cristiano Ronaldo’s first goal of the tournament this year.
Coach Jorge Jesus fielded his strongest lineup with a host of stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sadio Mane, Joao Felix, and Kingsley Coman, and immediately controlled the game. In the 11th minute, Ronaldo opened the scoring after a precise combination with Nawaf Bu Washl. This was CR7’s 969th career goal, 31 goals away from the 1000-goal milestone.

In the 24th minute, Joao Felix made his mark from a corner kick, setting up Inigo Martinez for a header to make it 2-0. Just two minutes later, Felix provided another ᴀssist for Al Amri to score, giving Al Nᴀssr a 3-0 lead in less than half an hour.

Al Wasl was completely outplayed and almost unable to build up play. Despite a few rare opportunities, the home team couldn’t make a difference.

In the second half, Al Nᴀssr slowed down the pace but maintained control. In the 80th minute, Sadio Mane sealed the 4-0 victory after an ᴀssist from Al Hamddan.

With this win, Al Nᴀssr advanced to the semi-finals and will face either Al Ahli SC or Al Hussein, continuing their quest for the Asian тιтle.
