After mounting a comeback against Shabab, Cristiano Ronaldo and Al Nassr secured their entry into the Champions League/Asian Cup group stage.
Al Nassr continued to run the possibility of quitting the match early at home when Shabab Al Ahli lead 2-1 in the 87th minute. Despite scoring fairly early on thanks to Anderson Talisca, the Saudi team played poorly and allowed their adversary to turn the tide with two goals from Yahya Al Ghassani.
Al Nassr’s Talisca scored first, but Shabab came back to score.Al Nassr actually created a dominant position, but it was impossible to materialize with obvious prospects. Because of this, when time runs out, they believe the worse is coming. Sultan Al Ghannam and Anderson Talisca, not Cristiano Ronaldo, showed up as the hero at the most crucial time.
