O Al Nassr, by Cristiano Ronaldo, João Félix and Samu Costa, was almost not to begin his meeting on the second day of the Asian Champions League this Monday, in front of Neftchi Fargona, due to security measures in the city of Riyadh, but ended up having a chance to play and win for the first time in this edition of the race, by 3-1.
After about an hour to start the match, the Saudis controlled the team of Uzbekistan for almost the entire meeting, with Angelo making the first goal of the night, after an assistance from Boushal, at 33 minutes.
Soon after, at 42 minutes of the game, he appeared in the inevitable Cristiano Ronaldo to ‘pick the point’ in Neftchi’s goal and increase the number of goals in his career to 981, only 19 of the 1000 goals round mark.
However, if it was expected to be an easy game for Al Nassr, the Uzbeks eventually showed that they didn't just walk the Riyadh. This is because they issued the warning at 44 minutes with an invalidated goal, but at the beginning of the second part they even marked, through a beautiful completion of Odilov, at 51 minutes.
The set of Ange Postecoglou had to wake up for the game, but at 65 minutes, he saw the opponent be reduced to 10 by an expulsion of Alibev, after a very hard entry.
Al Nassr carried the accelerator and even scored the third of the match with a goal of Gofurov, who tried to cut a ball that was going towards the Portuguese captain, but introduced it to the goal itself.
The game did not end without another affliction around Benedict's goal, with great difficulty in catching a Neftchi with less one player on the field.
In this way, Al Nassr won the first win of the season in this competition, as he had lost the first game by 4-0, before Al Ain, who leads the race with two wins.
Trincão turns Rui Victoria with new goal and assistance
Al Ahli ended up winning Al Wasl, in a meeting between several Portuguese names in the AFC Champions League, with Rui Vitória watching Francisco Trincão plot his venture in this competition.
The former Sporting player began to spread magic with an assist for the first goal of the meeting, with Ibañez shooting deep into the networks of the former Benfica trainer and Vitória SC.
The whole of the United Arab Emirates responded by Luso Pedro Malheiro, with a clear shot right near the interval, but Trincão had other intentions and even scored 1-2 at 58 minutes.
The game was settled already during the compensation period, with Al Buraikan closing the accounts with a goal at 90+1 minutes, in an assist of former Sporting Demiral.
