After the AFC Champions League Elite 2025 quarter-final clash, Al Nassr secured a dominant 4-1 victory over Yokohama F. Marinos to move into the semi-finals. The Saudi Pro League side took control early, with Jhon Duran opening the scoring after capitalizing on a defensive error. Sadio Mane doubled the lead with a clinical finish, before Cristiano Ronaldo added the third, tapping in from a goalkeeper's mistake in the 38th minute.
Ronaldo’s celebration, where he sat on the advertising boards and gazed at the fans, recreated a memorable moment from his Real Madrid days in 2017, stirring nostalgia among supporters. The goal also marked Ronaldo’s 934th career strike. Early in the second half, Duran scored again, making it 4-0 and sealing the result. Although Kota Watanabe pulled one back for Yokohama F. Marinos, his subsequent red card after a second yellow further compounded their struggles.

They will now face the winner of Kawasaki Frontale and Al Sadd in the semi-finals. With Ronaldo regaining form and key players firing, Al Nassr look strong contenders as the tournament progresses.
