Cristiano Ronaldo scored a crucial goal as Al-Nassr won 3-1 against Neftchi in the Asian Champions League Elite, overcoming an hour-long security delay due to missile safety concerns. The match, held in Riyadh, saw Al-Nassr's Angelo score first, followed by Ronaldo's decisive strike in the 42nd minute.
