Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo's 68th minute penalty was enough to give Al Nassr a vital 1-0 away win at Al-Ahli on Friday (March 15) as they try to stay in the league title race behind runaway leaders Al-Hilal.
Ronaldo had a great goal early on ruled out for offside after he rounded the keeper and slotted home from a very tight angle.
