Al-Nassr put on an impressive display to secure a 3-1 victory over Al-Gharafa in their AFC Champions League Group Stage clash at Al Bayt Stadium. Despite inconsistent Saudi Pro League form, the team dominated from the start, with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the charge.
Ronaldo came close twice in the first half but was denied by Al-Gharafa goalkeeper Sergio Rico. Early in the second half, he broke the deadlock with a header off a perfect Sultan Al-Ghannam cross. Angelo doubled the lead after a brilliant one-two with Otavio, showcasing exceptional footwork to beat Rico. Ronaldo added his second with a clinical finish, feinting past a defender before slotting it home to seal the game.
Although Joselu pulled one back for Al-Gharafa, a red card for Seydou Sano dashed any hopes of a comeback, as Al-Nassr cruised to a convincing win, moving closer to qualification.
