Cristiano Ronaldo struck twice for Al Nassr as the team continued to thrive in the AFC Champions League Elite, with the Saudi champions defeating Al Gharafa 3-1 in Qatar on Monday.

The 39-year-old's contributions moved Al Nassr nearer to the last eight, needing just two points from their final three group games.

Only Al Shorta on two points, with four games to play, can deny Ronaldo's side a place in the next round, after Persepolis drew 1-1 at Al Rayyan.
