Gamba Osaka Stun Ronaldo’s Al Nassr to Win AFC Champions League Two
Gamba Osaka produced a memorable upset to beat Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al Nassr 1-0 in the 2025/26 AFC Champions League Two final at Alawwal Park in Riyadh. A first-half strike from Deniz Hümmet proved decisive after Gamba’s goalkeeper Kosei Araki denied early Al Nassr chances from Abdulrahman Ghareeb, João Félix and Iñigo Martínez. Tactical changes failed to spark an equaliser for Jorge Jesus’s side, with Ronaldo’s late effort blocked and Sadio Mané also missing key chances. The win marks Gamba Osaka’s first continental title under the new format and ends Al Nassr’s perfect run in the competition. Jorge Jesus must now rally his squad as they turn their attention to the closing stages of the Saudi Pro League race against Al Hilal.
