RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Cristiano Ronaldo has been on target as Saudi Arabia's Al-Nassr beat Iran's Esteghlal 3-0 to progress to the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League Elite. Ronaldo missed the 0-0 draw in the first leg of the round of 16 tie in Tehran last week. After 26 minutes in the return match in Riyadh on Monday, the 40-year-old scored his seventh goal of the tournament. He converted a penalty after Sadio Mane was fouled in the area. Jhon Duran scored the other two. Esteghlal was reduced to 10 men just before halftime after Mehran Ahmadi's second yellow card. Two-time champion Al-Sadd of Qatar advanced with a 4-2 aggregate victory over Al-Wasl of the United Arab Emirates.
