Ronaldo on target as Al-Nassr win after security delay

Cristiano Ronaldo scored Al-Nassr's second goal as the Saudi Pro League champions overcame an hour-long security ​delay to beat Uzbekistan's Neftchi 3-1 in the AFC Champions League Elite ‌on Monday (October 12, 2026). Kick-off was delayed after Saudi Arabia's Civil Defence ​issued a safety warning 15 minutes before the scheduled ⁠start time in Riyadh, which has been targeted by missiles fired from Yemen-based Houthis in recent days. Ange Postecoglou's side shook off the interruption to ‌go in front through Angelo in the 33rd minute with a deflected strike before Ronaldo doubled the lead ‌nine minutes later.
