No goals were scored in the second half of the game and FC Goa lose this 1-2. They fought well but one has to admit that Al Nassr were simply the better side. What could give the Gaurs a bit of joy is the fact that they have scored their first goal of the tournament.

With just four minutes left on the clock, Timor Sva has been shown a red card. He walks out of the ground and FC Goa have been reduced to 10-man now. This gets further tough for the Gaurs as they are still trailing by a goal.

Six minutes of extra time has been added to the clock, and that is all FC Goa have got to level the scores. Can they put one into the final few minutes and snatch a point from Al Nassr? The Gaurs fighting hard for it.

Abdul Rabeeh ran from the right flank and tried to put a cross into the box as Muhammed Nemil was in the centre, but that was tackled well by the Al Nassr defence. A slide from their player helped them change the angle of the pass. As a result, the Gaurs got a corner but failed to make it count.

Sultan Al-Ghannam got a pass into the box. He put a terrific jump near the penalty area and then took the header, but failed to keep it in line. The goalie also took a jump at the same time and fell on the ground, but ball from Sultan missed the post.

Sultan Al-Ghannam tried to put a cross into the box from the right flank but that was intercepted by FC Goa's defence. Brison Fernandes then cleared the ball and Al Nassr earned a corner for it. The kick in the follow-up failed to find a receiver though. The scores remain unchanged!

Oh, dear Boris! What have you done there! FC Goa have missed a golden opportunity to level the scores. The ball was tapped into the box and Boris Thangjam reached to it quickly with a one-on-one battle left in the hurdle. He just needed to beat the keeper for an equaliser, but ended up hitting the man in front of him.

Brison Fernandes went down on the edge of Al Nassr's box, but referee decided to continue the action. Replays revealed that there no such foul from the opposition players as Fernandes tried to tackle them, before falling on the ground.

The ball went close to the box of Al Nassr but their defence showed professionalism and cleared that quite comfortably. Both the teams have struggled to break each others' defence in the last 30 minutes or so.

No hurry this time from Al Nassr as they keep calm and try to build an attack. So far, FC Goa have done a good job in intercepting their passes near the box. Wesley Ribeiro is struggling to cross the ball into the box from the right flank.

The action in the second half has got underway and Al Nassr are into the attack without wasting even a minute.

Al Nassr were simply the better side in the first half but the Gaurs fought well. The punched above their weight to avert many threats; barring two which saw the Saudi Arabian giants score. Brison Fernandes then put life into the game with a stunning strike. Half of the play is still remaining. Can FC Goa do better than this?

FC Goa 1-2 Al Nassr (1st half)

Brison Fernandes, you beauty! He has netted one back for FC Goa. And what a hit that is! He ran through the left flank into the box and then showed nerves of steel to beat one sliding Al Nassr defender and then released the shot to the far post before another one could tackle him. Game is on!

That was a good hit from Wesley Ribeiro. He had the ball outside the box of FC Goa. The player made a good run towards the middle before taking out a right-footed strike. He tried to curl it but it went off the far post.

What a goal this is from Haroune Camara! He got a cross into the box but got swarmed by FC Goa players in no time. Camara held his nerves and then executed a superb right footer into the back of the net to send Al Nassr 2-0 up.

There was this really good opporunity for Mohammed Maran to put his team 2-0 up but his header missed the post. It was a cross that he received and jumped well, but the header went over the bar. The Gaurs take a sigh of relief.

FC Goa 0-1 Al Nassr (1st half)

Al Nassr have got a fourth penalty in the game. They have been dominating the action. The kick on the fourth corner has been cleared well. Ayman Yahya received the ball well away from the post after the clearance and he played it into the hands of the FC Goa goalie.

The pressure is evident on FC Goa, who are somehow averting the threat. The silver lining for the Indian club is that they have covered the angle of the attacks well so far. As I type this, Al Nassr have earned a corner... Okay, that has been cleared well.

FC Goa 0-1 Al Nassr (1st half)

Angelo Gabriel strikes!!! Al Nassr take just 10 minutes to get 1-0 up in the scoresheet. It is their Brazilian star Angelo Gabriel, who has scored from near the penalty area. He hit the ball through the left of the FC Goa goalie.

FC Goa made a good run from the left flank but the cross into the box of Al Nassr failed to find a receiver. It was in fact intercepted by the Saudi Arabian side and they quickly got into a counter-attack.

FC Goa 0-0 Al Nassr (1st half)

Al Nassr are attacking well early on. They created a chance there, taking the ball inside the box of FC Goa. Some good defence helped the Gaurs cover all the lines. Ayman Yahya still tried one with his left foot and that went off the far post.

The match between FC Goa and Al Nassr is underway at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Margao. The Saudi Arabian giants are off to an attacking start. FC Goa have managed to defend well so far in the first two minutes.

It has been a challenging start for Manolo Marquez's men, who have shown flashes of promise but fallen short in execution. FC Goa began their ACL2 campaign with a 0-2 defeat to Al Zawraa SC in the group opener at home, where early missed chances proved costly. Their second outing, away to FC Istiklol in Dushanbe, followed a similar pattern - disciplined for long stretches but undone by lapses in key moments as they went down by the same margin. With back-to-back defeats, the Gaurs now face their toughest assignment yet against one of Asia's most high-profile clubs.

The absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and Marcelo Brozovic is unlikely to dent the Saudi Arabian side's strength, with the Riyadh-based heavyweights arriving in Goa high on confidence after two strong outings in Group A. FC Goa, meanwhile, will have their task cut out as they look to open their account in the competition at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.

There was huge anticipation that the Portuguese great Cristiano Ronaldo would travel with Al Nassr, marking his first appearance in India, but he decided to give the trip a miss. Apart from Ronaldo, Croatian midfielder Marcelo Brozovic is another notable absentee.

FC Goa face an uphill task against Saudi Arabian giants Al Nassr in their third group fixture of the AFC Champions League Two in Margao tonight. Cristiano Ronaldo misses out the game but stars like Sadio Mane and Joao Felix will be there for the highly-anticipated encounter.
