Cristiano Ronaldo led Al Nassr to the semifinals of the Arab Club Champions Cup by guiding his team to a 3-1 victory over Raja CA in the quarterfinals in Abha, Saudi Arabia, on Sunday.

In a crucial match for his team, Ronaldo often hailed as the greatest goal-scorer in football history, demonstrated his prowess once again by netting a goal in the 19th minute.

The 38-year-old, using his left foot, increased his club goal tally to 718 and gave Al Nassr an impressive start. The Saudi side didn’t let up and continued their aggressive attacks, with Sultan Al Ghannaam doubling their lead in the 29th minute.

A third goal was added in the 38th minute when former Newcastle midfielder Seko Fofana found the net, effectively sealing the victory for Al Nassr. A minor setback occurred when Al Nassr’s defender Abdullah Madu inadvertently scored an own goal in the 41st minute, narrowing their lead to two goals.

However, this setback didn’t affect Ronaldo’s side, as they concluded the game with a comfortable 3-1 win, securing their spot in the semifinals. They are set to face Al Shorta in the semifinal match at the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium on August 9.
