What. A. Night! ⚽ Yesterday, Al Nassr put on a show at Mrsool Park in Riyadh with a 5-1 drubbing of Iraq's Al Zawraa, sealing their place in the AFC Champions League Two knockout phase with a perfect 6-0 Group D run.
After sitting out the first five matches, Cristiano Ronaldo finally hit the pitch. But it was French winger Kingsley Coman who stole the spotlight, racing onto Angelo Gomes's slick pass to open the floodgates in the 12th minute.
Seven minutes later, Brazilian forward Wesley pounced on a loose ball to double the lead. Then Abdulelah Al-Amri soared above the defense to head in a third just before the half-hour mark—talk about clinical finishing! 💥
Just before halftime, Ronaldo's nifty footwork teed up Joao Felix for a cheeky lob that made it 4-0. Talk about team chemistry! 🤝
Al Zawraa responded early in the second half, but Coman wrapped up his brace in the 56th minute, capping off a flowing attack and finalizing the 5-1 score.
Highlights of Coman's strike and Felix's lob blew up on TikTok and Instagram, proving that big football moments are just a tap away. 📲
With six wins from six games, Al Nassr now head into the knockout rounds full of confidence. Next up is the do-or-die stage, where every match feels like a final. Stay tuned—this journey is just getting started! 🚀
