'Happy' Cristiano Ronaldo scores first AFC Champions League goal in Al Nassr win

Cristiano Ronaldo scored his first goal in the AFC Champions League as Al Nassr came from a goal down to see off Tajikistan's Istiklol 3-1 in Riyadh.

The Portuguese forward, 38, the all-time top scorer in European Champions League history with 140 goals, opened his account in Asia's equivalent with a clever clipped finish in the 66th minute to level the scores after Senin Sebai scored on the break to put Istiklol in front with a minute left in the first half.

Anderson Talisca headed Al Nassr in front six minutes later and the Brazilian put the result beyond doubt with 13 minutes remaining when he stroked a low shot into the corner.

“Good game from everyone on the team! Happy to have scored my 1st #ACL Champions League goal! We keep wining! [sic],” Ronaldo said in a social media post.

Good game from everyone on the team!
Happy to have scored my 1st #ACL champions league goal!
