Records are meant to be broken. Very few athletes around the world can match the number of records Cristiano Ronaldo has on and off the field. Even though he has many records on the field, his off-the-pitch achievements can’t go under the radar. Recently, this attribute rubbed off on Al Nassr, leading them to create a record for the most viewership for an Asian soccer match.

Al Alami played their 2nd AFC Champions League match against Istiklol on the 2nd of this month. The game was the most-watched soccer game in Asia ever.

Al Nassr has been creating a storm in the soccer market, but now it’s also seeing a fast increase in viewership and digital space. They won the match 3-1 after being a goal down at the half-stage.

The hosts came back with three rapid goals under the space of 15 minutes to get ahead by two goals, finally winning by the same margin. No wonder the expectation of the fans for such a performance from the team and their start kept them glued.
