Cristiano Ronaldo demonstrated his enduring skill as he scored in a decisive 3-0 victory for Al-Nassr over Iran's Esteghlal, securing a place in the AFC Champions League quarterfinals.

Despite missing a previous match, Ronaldo's crucial penalty, awarded following a foul on Sadio Mane, marked his seventh goal of the tournament.

Alongside Ronaldo, Jhon Duran found the net twice, propelling Al-Nassr further in their hunt for a first Asian championship. Esteghlal struggled, especially after a red card reduced them to 10 men before halftime.
