Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr Match Delayed by Missile Alert in Riyadh, Secures 3-1 Victory
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Asian Champions League match in Riyadh was delayed by an hour due to a missile alert, as the Saudi-led coalition intercepted a Houthi ballistic missile. Despite the security concerns, Ronaldo scored, helping Al-Nassr to a 3-1 victory over Uzbekistan’s Neftchi Fergana.
The incident occurred amidst ongoing attacks from the Iran-backed group on Saudi targets, though the match proceeded after authorities confirmed the area was safe, allowing Ronaldo to secure his 981st career goal.
