Tue Nov 26 17:40:31 UTC 2024: ## Ronaldo Double Propels Al Nassr to Asian Champions League Victory
**Doha, Qatar** – Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice as Al Nassr secured a 3-1 victory over Al Gharafa in the Asian Champions League on Monday, extending their winning streak. Despite a frustrating first half, Ronaldo headed in the opening goal early in the second, followed by a strike from Angelo Gabriel and a second goal from Ronaldo himself. Joselu scored a late consolation goal for Al Gharafa, but Al Nassr maintained their strong position in the group, now boasting 13 points from five matches. Their next challenge is against Al Sadd next Tuesday.
In other news, former Brentford striker Ivan Toney came off the bench to score a brace, securing a crucial 2-1 win for Al Ahli against Al-Ain. Toney’s two goals, scored within four minutes of each other, propelled Al Ahli to their fifth consecutive victory and guaranteed their place in the knockout rounds of the tournament. This leaves defending champions Al-Ain facing an uphill battle to secure qualification, currently languishing at the bottom of the standings with only one point. Al Ahli now lead the western standings, three points ahead of Al Hilal.
