Cristiano Ronaldo helped Al Nassr crush Qatar's Al Ahli SC 5-1 on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, to reach the final of the Asian Champions League Two (AFC Champions League Two) and get closer to his first major trophy since joining the Saudi club in December 2022.
The 41-year-old Portuguese star played for 78 minutes. Although he did not score a goal, the French player's hattrick, Kingsley Coman, inspired a comeback victory in Asia's second-tier club tournament.
Al Ahli had the chance to go ahead after seven minutes, but a penalty from former Germany player Julian Draxler was saved by Brazil goalkeeper Bento.
Four minutes later, the Qatar team took the lead. Sekou Yansane poked in from the right and fired a low, curling shot into the far corner.
Al Nassr responded shortly afterwards, with Coman equalizing from close range after Angelo raced down the left side.
Angelo then took the hosts ahead midway through the first half, receiving a pass from Sadio Mane before directing the ball past the goalkeeper.
Just before the break, Al Nassr widened the lead when Coman took advantage of a loose ball to score from close range.
Coman, who joined from Bayern Munich in 2025, completed a hat-trick in the 64th minute, receiving a pass from Angelo and finishing calmly.
Abdullah Al-Hamdan added a late goal to complete the victory.
Al Nassr, who lead the Saudi Pro League standings with five games remaining, will face Japan's Gamba Osaka in the AFC Champions League Two final in Riyadh on May 17, 2026.
