May 16 (Reuters) - Japan's Gamba ⁠Osaka beat Al-Nassr 1-0 in the Asian Champions League Two ⁠final to deny Cristiano Ronaldo and the Saudi Pro League ‌leaders in the continent's second-tier competition in Riyadh on Saturday.

Deniz Hummet scored the winner in the 30th minute to earn the J-League outfit their second continental title, which ​comes 18 years after they claimed the ⁠Asian Champions League.

The result means ⁠Ronaldo has yet to win a major trophy since joining Al-Nassr in ⁠2023 ‌after his contract with Manchester United was terminated by mutual consent, although his side hold a two-point lead in the ⁠SPL with one round of matches remaining.

The Saudi ​side dominated the clash ‌at the King Saud University Stadium but were unable to ⁠find a ​way past Gamba's young goalkeeper Rui Araki.

The 18-year-old palmed Abdulrahman Ghareeb's seventh-minute shot around the post while Sadio Mane hit the side-netting 16 minutes later ⁠as Al-Nassr made the early running.

But on ​the half-hour mark the Japanese side went in front when Hummet turned from 16 yards out to slot Issam Jebali's through pass into the bottom ⁠corner of Bento's goal.

Ghareeb was inches away from the equaliser three minutes before the interval and Ronaldo glanced a stoppage-time header wide with Jorge Jesus' side on top.

Al-Nassr's frustration continued as Joao Felix hit ​the post in the 77th minute from distance ⁠with Araki finally beaten.

Gamba defender Takeru Kishimoto slid in to make a ​match-saving block of the Portuguese forward's shot ‌six minutes from time after Ronaldo's ​backheel from the edge of the area momentarily put his teammate into space.
