RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Cristiano Ronaldo has scored and Al-Nassr has still been ousted in the Asian Champions League quarterfinals. Al-Nassr responded to a 1-0 first leg defeat against Al-Ain of the United Arab Emirates by winning the return match 4-3 in Riyadh. But Al-Nassr lost the penalty shootout 3-1. Ronaldo was the only home player to score in the shootout. The 39-year-old Ronaldo did miss several chances in regulation, and shook his head in disbelief in the second half when he missed the target from just two meters out with Al-Ain goalkeeper Khalid Eisa on the ground.
