Late Ronaldo Header Propels Al Nassr to Arab Champions Cup Quarter-Finals

Cristiano Ronaldo came up clutch yet again with a huge goal for Al Nassr against Egyptian side Zamalek in the Arab Club Champions Cup.

Al Nassr, who handed a debut to new signing Sadio Mane in the second half, found themselves 1-0 down after Ahmed Sayed converted a penalty in the 53rd minute.

But with three minutes of normal time remaining, captain Ronaldo popped up with a crucial equaliser in the final Group C fixture.

With Al Nassr on their way out from the competition, the ball was whipped in to the far post from the left flank from Ghislain Konan and the five-time Ballon d'Or winner headed home with aplomb as he has done on so many occasions.

 He immediately grabbed the ball and darted back to the halfway line as Al Nassr looked for a winning goal but the strike, Ronaldo's 840th of his stunning career, was enough to secure passage to the quarter-finals.

Al Nassr finished second in Group C on five points as a result, one point ahead of Zamalek and two behind group winners Al Shabab.
