In the fourth Asian Champions League group stage match, Al Nassr is still rated higher than rival Al Duhail, even with Ronaldo out of the picture.
But then something unexpected happened: in the eighth minute, Olunga took advantage of an error by Al Nassr to successfully steal the ball, and then he set up a good opportunity for Coutinho to cushion the ball from close range and end the match deadlocked. Following the loss, Al Nassr appeared to awaken and launched constant attacks, with the Arab delegate bearing the ultimate fruit.
To level the score in the 27th minute, Talisca skillfully traded blows with his teammates before unleashing an incredible long-range shot with his right foot. Maintaining the psychological momentum, Talisca reappeared ten minutes later. Using the same technique, the Brazilian sensation struck out with a long left-footed shot that left goalkeeper Zakaria motionless as he watched the ball enter the net. Al Nassr had the advantage, winning 2-1.
The match remained intense and visually appealing as it entered the second half. Talisca’s performance that day was outstanding, and she undoubtedly scored a hat-trick. With help from Ghareeb, Talisca fired a risky shot in the 65th minute to give the Arabian representative a comfortable two-goal lead.
Just when it appeared all over, Al Duhail was given a penalty in the eighth minute. With precision, Coutinho closed the score for the home team.
In the minutes that followed, even though both teams despite their best efforts, no more goals were scored, and Al Nassr emerged victorious. Al Nassr is leading Group E of the Asian Champions League with this outcome after four games.
