Al Nassr was in control for most of the game, but could find a way through only in the second half through a penalty converted by Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo scored again for Al Nassr as it beat Al Shorta to enter the final of the Arab Club Championship Cup 2023, at the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium on Wednesday.
Al Nassr was in control for most of the game, but it failed to make the most of its dominance in the game.
Early in the first half, the Saudi Pro League side thought it had taken the lead when Ronaldo latched on to a through ball and slotted it past the goalkeeper, only for the referee to call it back for an offside.
Al Shorta recovered to keep the score-line intact until the half-time, with some resolute defence.
But, Al Nassr started the second half on full tilt. Finally, the pressure gave way to a mistake leading to the match-winning goal.
