Ivan Toney and Cristiano Ronaldo Shine in AFC Champions League Victories

Toney's late goals secure Al-Ahli's knockout stage spot, while Ronaldo's brace edges Al-Nassr closer to qualification.

Ivan Toney scored twice as a substitute to lead Al-Ahli to a 2-1 victory over defending champions Al-Ain, confirming their place in the knockout rounds with three group games remaining.
Both of Toney's goals came from assists by Riyad Mahrez, marking Al-Ahli's fifth consecutive win and putting them at the top of the Western standings.
Cristiano Ronaldo netted a brace in Al-Nassr's 3-1 win over Al-Gharafa, bringing his team closer to the knockout stages with just three points needed from their remaining games.
Ronaldo overcame a frustrating first half to score early in the second half and later added his second goal, assisted by Angelo Gabriel, who also scored earlier in the match.
Al-Ahli leads the Western standings with 15 points, while Al-Nassr remains unbeaten in the competition, sitting in second place in their 12-team group.
