Ronaldo scored and waved a Saudi scarf in an AFC Champions League match that was previously delayed due to a Houthi missile alert.
Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr FC defeated Uzbekistan's Navbahor 3-1 in the AFC Champions League Elite. The match, originally scheduled for Monday, was delayed by an hour due to missile attack threats from Yemen's Houthi rebels. The Saudi Civil Defense issued a security alert 15 minutes before kickoff, as Riyadh has been the target of multiple Houthi missile attacks recently. The Saudi-led coalition stated that it intercepted and destroyed two ballistic missiles launched by the Houthis towards Riyadh on Monday. Cristiano Ronaldo scored Al Nassr's second goal in the 42nd minute and celebrated by waving a Saudi scarf after the match.
