FunTranscript
00:00It's goalless coming into the second leg as Al-Nasr hosts Esteglal in the AFC Champions League Elite Round of 16.
00:11Al-Nasr passed up some clear-cut opportunities in the first leg, but at least for this home match they have Cristiano Ronaldo back after he missed that game.
00:19It's no wins in three though in all competitions for the Saudi side.
00:26Esteglal meanwhile are unbeaten in five in this competition, but they will have to be more attack-minded today compared to the reverse mixture.
00:37Aymeric Laporte scored the winner for Al-Nasr between these two in the group stage in October but misses out on this match.
00:44His side though have started strongly anyway.
00:48Esteglal keeper Hosseini kept his side in the match last week but he's given the ball straight to Duran here and he tries the chip there and that's 1-0 already to Al-Nasr in the ninth minute.
01:01A massive mistake from Hosseini and he just can't get back to stop the shot in the end from Duran.
01:09It's his first in the AFC Champions League Elite and a dream start for the home side.
01:15And they continue to push forward as Ronaldo stands over a free kick here, he sends it towards the far stick and that's an excellent stop from Hosseini.
01:27Into the 25th minute, Al-Nasr are well on top.
01:32As Mane bursts into the box he goes down and no hesitation from the referee.
01:38It is a penalty, Nick Nafs here coming in on the Senegal forward and it's a clear penalty.
01:46Ronaldo steps up here.
01:50Oh and he clips it down the middle for 2-0 to Al-Nasr.
01:56As Cristiano Ronaldo's side now have control of the tie.
02:01Into the 34th minute, as a free kick is whipped in here and an unmarked Al-Fatihli rise is so high that he places his header just wide.
02:13Right at the end of the first half, Mehran Ahmadi for Estegual is shown a second yellow card and he's off.
02:20As at half-time it's 2-0 to Al-Nasr and a man to the goods, they're seemingly cruising to the quarter-finals.
02:28But there's no let-up from them as they look to get a statement win here.
02:3348th minute and a real scramble.
02:36It's Duran, Yaya and Duran again, spectacular action.
02:41As Al-Nasr fail to score.
02:44Coming to the hour mark.
02:47As it's complete domination from the home side, a shooting chance for Cristiano Ronaldo.
02:53And it's another stop from Hosseini.
02:57But Cristiano Ronaldo is getting closer to scoring from open play.
03:02Just a couple of minutes later, Al-Nasr again charging forward.
03:07As Mane swings this one over and the header from close range from Yaya is saved.
03:14Hosseini has been a very busy man again tonight.
03:20Coming towards the end of the match now.
03:23As there's another break involving Cristiano Ronaldo.
03:28As it's patient play.
03:31That's a fantastic ball for Duran and what a finish that is for 3-0.
03:37His second of the game and Al-Nasr's third.
03:41The Colombian doing so well there to get his second as a full-time.
03:45It's 3-0 to Al-Nasr who could have scored many more in the second half against the ten men of Esteglal.
03:51CR7 is into the quarter-final and a step closer to lifting the big trophy.
