  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Ronaldo was gifted a glorious chance to level the tie for Al-Nassr against Al-Ain on Monday night but somehow managed to miss the target from just three yards. A shot from range was parried by the goalkeeper directly into Ronaldo's path, but somehow the Portugal international put the chance wide of the post with the goal gaping.

Two goals from Soufiane Rahimi then put Al Ain 3-0 ahead on aggregate, although the Saudi side hit back with an effort from Abdulrahman Ghareeb, an own goal and an Alex Telles strike to level at 3-3 and force extra-time. The visitors struck again in extra-time but were pegged back from the penalty spot by Ronaldo. The 4-4 draw saw the game eventually decided by spot-kicks with Al-Ain progressing after emerging victorious from the shoot-out.
