Al-Nassr’s pursuit of an AFC Champions League Elite title has had to be postponed for at least another year, after Manchester United and Real Madrid legend Cristiano Ronaldo failed to score in his side's 3-2 loss to J1 League side Kawasaki in Wednesday’s semi-final.

Cristiano Ronaldo's wait for a major trophy in Saudi Arabia is set to continue as Al-Nassr lost 3-2 to Kawasaki Frontale in the Asian Champions League semifinals.

Mohamed Simakan intercepted the ball, but it went straight towards Ito, who scored with a first-time shot from the edge of the area.The Saudi giants, however, recovered quickly from the early setback as Sadio Mane netted the equaliser from Nawaf Boushal's pass just before the half-hour mark.
