A needless challenge from Abdullah Al Hawsawi allowed Al-Nassr to take the lead after just seven minutes, and Ronaldo made no mistake from the penalty spot, smashing it beyond the reach of the goalkeeper. Coman then deservedly doubled the visitors' lead just after the half-hour mark. Marcelo Brozovic's low cross was initially cut out, but the ball still fell kindly for Coman, who found the bottom-right corner on the turn.

Ronaldo's quest to reach 1,000 goals won't be achieved this season, even if he continues to receive gift-wrapped spot-kicks as he did tonight. Home defender Abdullah Al-Hawsawi was adjudged to have fouled the Portuguese while back-pedalling to try to clear a right-wing cross. It was a farcical decision reached by referee Majed Al-Shamrani and the VAR but Ronaldo showed no mercy, firing the spot-kick into the bottom left-hand corner.
