Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Al Nassr edged Al Duhail in a 4-3 thriller in the AFC Champions League
Cristiano Ronaldo bagged a brace in Al-Nassr’s sensational 4-3 win over Qatar’s Al-Duhail in the AFC Champions League on October 24, 2023. Ronaldo’s timely strikes stopped an Al Duhail comeback in its wake, just as the Qatari outfit had begun threatening to peg back a three-goal deficit in matchday three of the competition.

Al-Nassr took the lead in the 25th minute, courtesy of a strike from Anderson Talisca. Former Liverpool star Sadio Mane doubled their tally on the other side of the interval before Ronaldo scored the first of his two - an outstanding curling effort from outside the box on his weak foot. Al-Duhail responded swiftly, pulling back two goals through Ismail Mohamad and Almoez Ali, only for Ronaldo to score again and put daylight between the two teams. Michael Olunga’s late effort for Al-Duhail, in that context, proved to be nothing but a consolation.
Social media remained abuzz into the late hours of the night, reminiscing about another masterclass showing from the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Ronaldo. Here are some of the best reactions to the same:
