Ronaldo's brace win Arab Cup

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Cristiano Ronaldo singlehandedly won the Arab Club Champions Cup for Al Nassr after netting a brace in the final to inspire his team to a comeback victory over Al Hilal.

Al Hilal took an early second half lead and were cruising to victory when the Portuguese superstar showed up with a moment on brilliance in the final 15 minutes.

The 38-year-old latched onto Al Ghanam's cross from the right to level the score with Al Nassr a man down following the red card to Abdulelah Alamri four minutes earlier.

Mane wins first Al Nassr trophy

Senegalese forward Sadio Mane has shared his excitement after playing a role in Al Nassr's Arab Club Champions Cup success on Saturday.

The former Liverpool forward helped his side to a comeback victory over Al Hilal, despite Al Nassr playing most of the game with ten men.

Five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo netted both goals for the Saudi club to ensure they won their first title before their opening game in the Saudi Pro League.
