Al-Nassr¡¯s Jhon Duran scored twice and Cristiano Ronaldo netted a penalty as the Saudi Pro League side booked a place in the Asian Champions League Elite last eight on Monday with a 3-0 win over Iran¡¯s Esteghlal while Qatar¡¯s Al-Sadd beat Al-Wasl.
Akram Afif was instrumental in Al-Sadd¡¯s 3-1 victory in Doha and got on the scoresheet as he led Felix Sanchez¡¯s side to a 4-2 aggregate win over the side from the United Arab Emirates.
Al-Nassr¡¯s win in Riyadh came after a 0-0 draw in the first leg in Tehran last week and takes Stefano Pioli¡¯s team into the quarter-finals, which will be played in Jeddah as part of a centralized tournament from April 25 to May 3.
