Al Nassr Crushes FC Goa 4-0 in AFC Champions League Rematch

On November 5, 2025, FC Goa faced a tough challenge against Al Nassr in their second AFC Champions League group stage match. The Indian club had previously given a commendable performance in the first meeting, losing narrowly by a 1-2 margin. However, the rematch at the Al Awwal Park proved to be a one-sided affair, as Al Nassr clinched a convincing 4-0 victory.

Abdulrahman Ghareeb was the star of the show, scoring a brace for the home side. Mohammed Marran and Joao Felix also found the net, guiding Al Nassr to a comfortable three points. The result was a disappointment for FC Goa, who had hoped to put up a stronger fight.

Adding to the fans' dismay was the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo from the Al Nassr matchday squad. The legendary footballer's exclusion left Indian football enthusiasts feeling let down, as they had eagerly anticipated his appearance.

Despite the brave start from FC Goa, Al Nassr quickly took control of the match, dominating in all departments. The home side's first goal came from a free-kick in the 35th minute, with Ghareeb finding the back of the net with a superb strike. The second half saw Al Nassr extend their lead, with Ghareeb and Marran adding to the scoreline before Felix's late goal sealed the 4-0 victory.

The result keeps Al Nassr top of Group D with 12 points, while FC Goa remains at the bottom with zero points. The Indian club will need to regroup and find a way to bounce back in their remaining group stage matches.
