Elon Musk, the owner of Tesla and the social media platform X, has congratulated football legend Cristiano Ronaldo following his standout performance in Al-Nassr’s 3-1 victory over Al-Gharafa in the AFC Champions League on Monday.

The match, held at the Al Bayt Stadium, marked a crucial game for both teams in the competition.

Heading into the match, Al-Nassr was sitting third in Group B, with the hopes of securing a vital win to boost their chances of advancing.

The game began slowly, with both teams failing to score in the first half, but it was Ronaldo who broke the deadlock shortly after the break.

In the 46th minute, Ronaldo received a well-timed cross from Sultan Al-Ghannam and fired it into the net, giving Al-Nassr the lead.

Ronaldo then sealed his brace in the 64th minute, further extending his team’s advantage with a precise finish.

Despite Joselu, a former Real Madrid striker, pulling one back for Al-Gharafa in the 75th minute, the game ended in a comfortable 3-1 win for Al-Nassr.

Following the match, Ronaldo shared photos of his goal celebration on his X account, expressing his joy over the victory with the caption, “Big win tonight!”

Elon Musk, acknowledging the performance, replied with a simple yet encouraging message: “Congrats!”

Ashleigh Plumptre has made it clear that the Super Falcons are ready for a tough fight against Zambia’s Copper Queens in the upcoming Women’s Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash set for Friday in Casablanca.

Zambia head into the match as one of the tournament’s top-scoring teams, having netted six goals so far. Their forwards, Barbara Banda and Racheal Kundananji, have been standout performers, using their speed and strength to trouble defenses throughout the competition.

Despite the challenge ahead, Plumptre isn’t fazed. Speaking at a press conference, the Nigerian defender acknowledged the strength of Zambia’s attack but stressed that the Super Falcons are prepared to face the team as a whole, not just two players.

“We respect Zambia’s attacking quality, and we know they’ve got dangerous players,” she said. “But our game plan isn’t about shutting down individuals—it’s about being ready for everything they bring as a team.” Plumptre, who plays her club football with Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia, emphasized that the Falcons have studied their opponents well and are focused on reaching the semifinals.

Atalanta have rejected Inter Milan’s initial €40 million offer for Nigerian forward Ademola Lookman.

Inter reportedly reached out to present their opening bid, but Atalanta have made it clear they won’t give the green light at that price, especially to a domestic rival. Lookman played a key role in Atalanta’s Europa League triumph last season, scoring a memorable hat-trick in the final against Bayer Leverkusen. Now hoping for a move, the ball is in Inter’s court to return with an improved offer if they truly want the talented winger.
