Cristiano Ronaldo's Saudi title hopes hurt by Aubameyang

Cristiano Ronaldo's hopes of lifting his first silverware since moving to Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia were dented on Friday after they were beaten 2-1 at home by Al Qadsiah.

Ronaldo, 38, opened the scoring in the 32nd minute, reacting fastest to some suspect goalkeeping and slamming home from close range.

However, that lead did not last long. Julián Quiñones levelled the affair just five minutes later, chesting down a looping cross from the left byline before finishing adeptly.

Quiñones then turned provider in the second half after Al Nassr failed to convert a considerable possession advantage into meaningful chances.
