Al-Nassr won the ACL Two game 2-1 against FC Goa.

Following Al-Nassr’s victory over FC Goa in the AFC Champions League Two, former FC Barcelona player Inigo Martinez, who started at the back, expressed gratitude to Goa for their hospitality. The Saudi Pro League team, without Cristiano Ronaldo, relied heavily on the defence.

On Wednesday, October 22, Al-Nassr defeated FC Goa 2-1 to continue their winning run. The first goal was scored by former Chelsea player Angelo Gabriel. Just before the half, defender Haroune Camara doubled the lead.

Brison Fernandes’ goal for the hosts shortly before halftime proved to be the only one the Indian club managed to get on goal during the match. The Saudi team won all three points, and the scoreline remained the same in the second half.

Jorge Jesus on Al-Nassr’s performance against FC Goa

Jorge Jesus, the coach of Al-Nassr, acknowledged that the game was about finishing the task at hand. He expressed his satisfaction with the outcome. It was difficult to defeat the Indian team, he noted, saying (via Sportstar):

“The obiective of the match is done, which is to win and pick up three points. We won against a team which refused to lose. They have some quick players, but we controlled the match and scored goals.

“We controlled 80% of the match. Goa scored from one opportunity they created.”
