The Saudi Arabian representative took the initiative and quickly took full control of the game against the opponent from India. After many missed opportunities, the home team opened the scoring in the 35th minute thanks to a beautiful free kick from Abdulrahman Ghareeb, ending the first half with a 1-0 advantage.
In the second half, Al-Nassr accelerated and created a supply of breathless pressure. In the 53rd minute, Ghareeb completed his double after a good combination with Al Hassan. In the 65th minute, Meshari dribbled the ball at speed on the right wing and passed it well for Marran to finish close to the goal, raising the score to 3-0.
Not stopping there, coach Luis Castro sent Sadio Mane and Felix onto the field. The two new recruits immediately made their mark when Mane assisted Felix Volley to go into the Goa net in the 84th minute, sealing a 4-0 victory for the Saudi Arabian team.
In the final minutes, Ghareeb almost scored a hat-trick but his shot missed the post. However, the midfielder's performance and Al-Nassr's comprehensive strength continue to affirm the ambition of the West Asian team to compete for the title.
With this victory, Al-Nassr is almost certain to enter the knockout round with 12 points after 4 matches, while FC Goa still has no points after four matches and has dropped to the bottom of Group D.
