Al Nassr defence delights Menezes, Karimi proud despite Tractor's AFC Champions League exit

Doha: Al Nassr FC head coach Mano Menezes praised his side’s defensive organisation as the Saudi club overcame Islamic Republic of Iran’s Tractor FC 1-0 in the 2021 AFC Champions League Round of 16 on Tuesday.

In the absence of 2020 top scorer Abderrazak Hamdallah for suspension, it was summer signing Vincent Aboubakar who took the Riyadh-based side to the next round with the only goal of the match, a cute dink over the Iranian goalkeeper inside the opening quarter of an hour.
