Cristiano Ronaldo scores twice to give Al Nassr Arab Champions Cup title against Al Hilal

Cristiano Ronaldo has one more title to put on his shelf. This Saturday afternoon, the Portuguese star scored two goals to give Al Nassr the title of the Arab Champions Cup. In the final disputed against Al Hilal, by Jorge Jesus, the CR7 team won, in the upset, by 2 to 1.

The match had dramatic contours for the Real Madrid legend. His team had two players expelled in the second half and still took the decision to overtime, with Cr7 appearing to score the title goal in the first half.

The game

The game was quite eventful, especially in the second half. After a goalless first stage, at 6 minutes of the final 45, Michael, ex-Flamengo, received a cross from the bottom line and sent a fish to the bottom of the net. Al Hilal at the front.

The situation would be even more comfortable for Al Hilal at 26, when the referee showed the red card straight to Abdulelah Al-Amri, defender of Al Nassr.

However, whoever has Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t need much more. At 29, the number 7 scored his first in the match. Well positioned in the middle of the area after winning the defense duo’s run, the playmaker received a low cross from the right and only had the job of pushing towards the goal and equalizing the score.

Shortly after reaching the tie, Al Nassr suffered another hard blow in the match. At 33, Nawaf Boushal was also expelled and, thus, the CR7 team was left with only nine men on the field.

Even so, the team managed to hold the 1-1 on the scoreboard until the end of regular time and the match headed to overtime. Then again Cristiano appeared.

At 7 minutes of the first half, the Portuguese once again was opportunistic and took advantage after kicking the crossbar. With a lot of freedom in the area, he gave a light touch of the head to the empty goal to enshrine Al Nassr’s title.
