FC Goa Vs Al Nassr Live Score, AFC Champions League Two: Gaurs Eye Revenge; Cristiano Ronaldo Sits Out Of Playing XI

As expected, Al-Nassr have started the game strongly. They have been penetrating the Goan box with ease through their dominant midfield system and explosiveness in the flanks. FC Goa have been pushed to the back foot, and are making flashy and short-lived moves forward with the ball.

We are underway at Al-Awwal Park for this important Group D clash. The hosts (in yellow) will start from left to right and the visitors (in orange) start from right to left in this 1st half.

The players and the referees are on the field for the pre-match handshakes and the toss between Goa's Sandesh Jhingan and Al-Nassr's Abdulelah Al Amri. Both teams have huddled up for the final instructions and we are ready to go.

FC Goa are winless in the AFC Champions League Two group stages, losing to Al-Zawraa (2-1), Istiklol (2-0) and tonight's opponents, who won a hard fought 2-1 back in Fatorda.

Starting XI: Nader, Amri (C), Boushal, Marran, Khaibari, Al-Hassan, Ghareeb, Najjar (GK), Camara, Wesley and Salem

Substitutes: Nawaf, Sultan, Mane, Marcelo Brozovic, Angelo, Coman, Bento, Inigo Martinez, Rakan, Aman and Joao Felix

"It’s an honour for us to play these kinds of games, not only for the players, but for all FC Goa fans and for Indian football as a whole. These are moments everyone will remember for a long time. But we’re not here just to admire the stadium or the occasion; we’re here to compete in the best possible way against a big team like Al Nassr.” - Manolo Marquez said.

“We’ve earned this opportunity through a lot of hard work, last season and in the early part of this one. From beating Al-Seeb in the preliminary round to reaching the Super Cup semifinals, we’ve met our early objectives. Now we’re in a good moment, the team is confident, and we want to enjoy ourselves on the pitch, but most importantly, we’re here to compete and try to win.” - Marquez concluded. 

We could be seeing the great Cristiano Ronaldo take the field tonight against FC Goa. He was travelled with the Al Nassr squad and he could be marking his first ever appearance against an Indian club after missing the previous meeting in Fatorda.

Starting XI: Hrithik (GK), Boris, Ronney, Sandesh (C), Pol, Aakash, Dejan, Borja, Iker, Brison and Javi

Substitutes: Lara, Bob, Nim, Jerry, Udanta, Sitroy, Tavora and Rabeeh
