MD2: PFC Nasaf (UZB) 2-3 Al Hilal SFC (KSA)

Qarshi: Marcos Leonardo struck 11 minutes from time as Al Hilal sealed a dramatic 3-2 win over a stubborn PFC Nasaf at Markaziy Stadium in Qarshi on Monday to maintain their perfect start to the league phase of the AFC Champions League Elite™ 2025/26.

The Brazilian netted deep into a game that had seen Sergej Milinkovic-Savic’s 21st minute opener cancelled out by Sardorbek Bakhromov’s bullet into the top corner six minutes later and Theo Hernandez’s individual effort was matched by a fine Javokir Sidikov finish.

 

Al Hilal’s win was their second in the competition after an opening day victory over Qatar’s Al Duhail while Nasaf suffered another agonising loss to Saudi Pro League opposition having been beaten by defending champions Al Ahli earlier in the month.
