Let me know MOREThe Portuguese forward struck in the 81st moment of what had been a disappointing game in general for the Riyadh club.

Aymeric Laporte had another open door without further ado a short time later, however his work from short proximity missed the objective.

Anderson Talisca was the following star to verge on breaking the gridlock when he got onto the finish of a pass, yet his shot went off center.

THE MVPSimilarly as it seemed as though his group were set for a horrendous draw, Ronaldo sprung up at the right second to convey an away success for his group. He had been one of their most hazardous players all through and would have been kicking himself for seeing his first-half open door hindered. Ultimately, however, he had the option to nip in and have the effect in the mainland conflict.
THE Enormous WashoutAl-Fayha striker Anthony Nwakaeme will feel disappointed by his absence of contribution in this match.
