Al Nassr striker, Cristiano Ronaldo, helped himself to a brace as they defeated Istiklol 3-1 on Mondat at Al Awal Park.
Al Nassr found themselves down 1-0 to their Tajik foes thanks to Senin Sebai’s goal with his team’s first shot just before the break.
The frustrations continued until Ronaldo finally scored an equaliser for the hosts, pouncing on the rebound from his own blocked shot and chipping Istiklol keeper Rustam Yatimov.
Anderson Talisca added two more within five minutes soon after Ronaldo’s opener to complete the comeback and maintain Al Nassr’s perfect record in the early stages of the ACL, having taken six points from their first two matches.
Iran’s Persepolis are in second place behind Al Nassr following a 1-0 win over Al Duhail of Qatar, with Omid Alishah scoring in the 63rd minute to earn the 2018 and 2020 runners-up their first victory of the campaign.
