After the semifinal against Al Shorta, Ronaldo scored the only goal in the 75th minute. Al Hilal beat Al Shabab 3-1 to advance to the final. Al Nassr was set to face Al Hilal in the Arab Club Champions Cup Final.

The match started at 6:00 KSA time. The first half was full of yellow cards and incredible saves from the Al Hilal goalkeeper. The first half was goalless. The second half of the game started and soon Micheal from Al Hilal scored the first goal to set the score at 1-0. As the game neared the end, Cristiano Ronaldo came in clutch again and scored the equaliser to keep Al Nassr in the game. Since the score was tied at full-time, the game was extended to extra time.

The game progressed with wasted chances and substitutions where in the 98th minute Ronaldo scored a header that bounced back from the goal to make the score 2-1. The game continued and Al Nassr kept their lead. As the referee blew the final whistle, Al Nassr rejoiced as they had won their first-ever Arab Club Champions Cup.

Cristiano Ronaldo spent the closing minutes on the Al Nassr bench, withdrawn following a nasty-looking knock to his knee, but soon he was jumping for joy, success being the ultimate healer. The Nassr captain, runner-up in last season’s Saudi Pro League, is a winner once more, adding the King Salman Club Cup to an already-impressive trophy cabinet.

It may not be one of the 5 U.C.L. trophies but good luck telling Ronaldo that. As the final whistle blew, he put aside the pain and leapt to celebrate with his teammates. Al Hilal put on a good game, but in the end, only one team won the game and today it was Ronaldo’s Al Nassr.
