Cristiano Ronaldo Scores After Goalkeeping Blunder As Al Nassr Progress to AFC Champions League Quarter-Finals

A goalkeeping blunder helped Cristiano Ronaldo score his fifth goal in the AFC Champions League as Al Nassr moved into the quarter-finals by beating Al Feiha.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his fifth goal in the AFC Champions League as Al Nassr moved into the quarter-finals with a dominant victory over fellow Saudi side Al Feiha.

A week after winning 1-0 in the away leg - thanks to another Ronaldo goal - Al Nassr won 2-0 on home soil on Wednesday to complete a 3-0 aggregate victory in the round of 16.

Otavio headed Al Nassr in front on the night in the 17th minute before Ronaldo sealed the win late in the second half following a goalkeeping blunder.

Ronaldo's goal - the 876th of his career across all competitions - came after he had chased a long pass forward by Marcelo Brozovic.

Al Feiha keeper Vladimir Stojkovic got to the pass before Ronaldo but failed to control the ball, which went between his legs.

Ronaldo then gratefully put the loose ball into the empty net.
