If in the US, Lionel Messi shined to bring Inter Miami to the round of 16 of the CONCACAF Leagues Cup, in the Arab country, Ronaldo also responded with a decisive goal to help Al Nassr continue in the Arab Club Cup.

In the early morning match, Al Nassr met Zamalek, the power of Egyptian football. Al Nassr needs at least one draw to advance or win to take the top spot. But Zamalek is not simple either. This team has the home field advantage and they have pressed the opponent for some time, regardless of whether the Al Nassr side has stars like Brozovic, Telles or Ronaldo.

And in the 53rd minute, the effort of the Egyptian representative paid off when they successfully shot 11m to open the scoring. Al Nassr is in trouble right now. They immediately launched rookie Sadio Mane into the field.

The Senegalese striker is active, but still lacks cohesion with his teammates, in many situations he even steps on Ronaldo. Meanwhile, with the opponent’s fearsome attack, Zamalek killed himself to protect the result, because the score 1-0 was enough for them to go on and knock Al Nassr out of the group stage.

Ronaldo’s extremely tight header to equalize

Like the match against Montesir in the previous round, it was still Ronaldo who saved the home team and still from the header. From the cross of his teammate on the left wing in the 87th minute, Ronaldo headed in bravely to hit the goalkeeper’s net on Zamalek’s side.

A 1-1 draw was enough to advance, but Ronaldo did not want to stop. He immediately hugged the ball and placed it in the middle of the field so that the game could continue quickly, as if to remind his teammates that he had to win to take the top spot.

But the remaining time is not enough. Al Nassr could only go on with second place. This match once again honored Ronaldo because without his header, the Saudi Arabia club would have been eliminated early.
