Al Nassr emerged victorious over the home team FC Goa with a score of 2-1 in the Group D Asia Champions League 2025/2026 match. Angelo Gabriel scored two goals for Al Nassr in the 10th minute and Heroune Camara in the 27th minute. Meanwhile, Brison Fernandes reduced FC Goa’s deficit in the 41st minute.
Brison Fernandes received a through ball from Borja, sprinted into the penalty area, beat his marker, and unleashed a shot with his right foot, hitting the back of the net.
Despite Al Nassr’s dominant play and pressure, FC Goa’s counterattacks almost leveled the score. FC Goa opted to counterattack with Nassr controlling the ball in their own defensive area. Meanwhile, Jorge Jesus continued to shout on the sidelines to slow the game down and waste time.
In the post-match press conference, Brison Fernandes, the goal scorer for FC Goa, expressed his delight at scoring for his team.
“I am very happy for myself and the team for the effort we put in here. We will continue to build on this momentum. They capitalized on early chances well (scoring two goals) and I believe there is always room for improvement,” said Brison.
