CR7 assists, Al-Nassr cruise to win in Champions 'second tier' | OneFootball

Christmas Eve had Cristiano Ronaldo on the field.

The "Robozão" played for the first time with his Al-Nassr in the FC Champions League Two, the second tier of the Asian Champions League, this Wednesday (24).

He didn’t score, but contributed with a beautiful assist in the 5-1 win over Al-Zawraa of Iraq at the King Saud University Stadium.

Jorge Jesus’ team was already qualified for the knockout stage and confirmed their 100% record after six rounds in Group D.

Meanwhile, Al Zawraa advanced in second place with nine points.

Rout already in the 1st Half

The forty-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo had been rested in the previous five matches of the FC Champions League Two.

But he started against Al-Zawraa. He tried, but did not score for the 955th time in his career.

The expected Al-Nassr show began at 12 minutes, with Ângelo assisting Coman.

Wesley scored the second, picking up a rebound after a corner (19').

Al Amri extended the lead (29') after a pass from João Félix.

And the Portuguese scored the fourth after his compatriot Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a beautiful lofted pass (44').
