Cristiano Ronaldo found the back of the net once again as Al Nassr cruised to a 4-1 victory vs. Japan’s Yokohama F. Marinos in the AFC Champions League quarterfinal.
The home side dominated the Japanese visitors who are on a terrible run of form sitting dead last in the J-League.
Jhon Durán opened the scoring in the 27th minute with Sadio Mané scoring just four minutes later. Ronaldo then made it 3-0 with a close range effort following a save from the goalkeeper.

That marks his 934th career goal as he closes in on the 1,000 mark.
Ronaldo earned the nickname of “Mr. Champions League” during his incredible performances in the UEFA Champions League in the past. While he hasn’t lifted the Asian edition yet, he’s now managed 14 goals in 14 AFC Champions League games.
Al Nassr will learn their semifinal opponent on Sunday as they face the winner of Japan’s Kawasaki and Qatar’s Al Sadd.
Two other Saudi clubs are in the semifinals with Al Hilal and Al Ahli both advancing.
Al Nassr's biggest names were all on the scoresheet with Durán bagging a brace and Mané scoring.
Jhon Duran won't have many goals easier than this
