Cristiano Ronaldo’s double delivers Al Nassr the Arab Champions.

A Cristiano Ronaldo double gives Al Nassr the Arab Club Champions Cup (Uafa Cup) with a comeback victory over their cousins Al Hilal.

With the Saudi League already underway, the Riyadh derby was a spectacular preview to see many newly arrived champions on the field: on one side Kalidou Koulibaly, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic and Ruben Neves and on the other, along with CR7, Marcelo Brozovic and Sadio Mane.

At the King Fahd Stadium, the match turned on in the second half, when Brazilian Michael put Al Hilal ahead in the 6th minute, who then found themselves with a numerical advantage as well due to the expulsion of Al Amri decided by Var.

In the 29th minute, however, Cristiano equalized, taking the game into extra time. In the 9th minute of the first extra period, the Portuguese scored the overtaking and winning goal.
