Ronaldo thrives with Al Nassr

In the third round of the 2024/2025 Asian Cup group stage, Ronaldo's Al Nassr had to visit Esteghlal Club (Iran). Due to the unstable security situation in Iran, the match was held in Dubai (UAE).

With a squad of better quality players, Al Nassr continuously created clear scoring opportunities but could not convert them into goals against Esteghlal's defensive efforts.

Entering the second half, Al Nassr's coaching staff made a series of personnel adjustments to strengthen the attack, but the Saudi Pro League representative still had difficulty finding a way into Esteghlal's goal.

It seemed like Ronaldo and his teammates would accept the draw, but CR7 spoke up. In the 81st minute, Ronaldo jumped high to head the ball, forcing goalkeeper Hosseini to push it out. Laporte was there in time to put the ball into the empty net, helping Al Nassr win by a narrow margin, thereby maintaining their unbeaten record (2 wins, 1 draw) in this year's Asian Cup 1.
